Sampling
Sampling Procedure
Sample Design
The ICT Rural Household Survey collected information from 26 483 rural agricultural households and in-scope individuals (for ICT usage questions) that live in the following areas:
· Communal Lands
· Old Resettlement Schemes (Models A, B2 and E)
· A1 Farms
· A2 Farms
· Large Scale Commercial Areas
· Small Scale Commercial Farming Areas
The sampling units used followed the structure of the sectors. Sampling units for Large Scale and Small Scale Commercial Farms were farms, for Communal Lands sampling units were households while for A1, A2, Models (A, B2 and E) sampling units were plot holders
In Communal Lands, Enumeration Areas (EAs) were selected using probability proportional to size (PPS) from a sampling frame stratified by province and district. The measure of size being the number of households enumerated in the 2002 Population Census. A complete listing of households in the selected EAs was carried out. The list was then used to select sample households using systematic random sampling.
In Large Scale Commercial Farms, sample farms were selected from the register of all Large Scale Commercial Farms which is stratified by province and district. The selection of farms was done using probability proportional to size, the measure of size being the farms area. The sample of farms is selected by systematic random sampling.
In Small Scale Commercial Farms, farms were selected from the register of Small Scale Commercial Farms. The selection of farms was done using probability proportional to size, the measure of size being the number of farms in the district. The sample of farms is selected by systematic random sampling.
A register of A1 Farms stratified by province and district was used for selection of A1 Farms. Selection of farms was done using probability proportional to size, the measure of size being the number of plot holders in each farm. A complete listing of plot holders is done and is used for the second stage sampling which is selection of plot holders using systematic random sampling.
A sample of A2 Farms is selected from a register of A2 Farms which is stratified by province and district. Selection of farms is done using probability proportional to size the measure of size being the number of plot holders in each farm. A complete listing of plot holders was done and was used for the second stage sampling which is selection of plot holders using systematic random sampling.
A sample of Model A Resettlement Schemes was selected from a register of Model A Resettlement Schemes which was stratified by province and district. Schemes are selected from each stratum using probability proportional to size, the measure of size being the number of villages in each scheme. Villages were then selected from each selected scheme using probability proportional to size the measure of size being the number of plot holders in each village. A complete listing of all plot holders in the selected villages was carried out. The list was used for the third stage sampling of plot holders using systematic random sampling from each of the selected village plot-holder list.
For Model B2 Resettlement Schemes a complete census was carried out. A complete listing of all plot holders in the schemes is carried out and the list is used for the selection of plot holders using systematic random sampling.
For Model E Resettlement Schemes a complete census is carried out. A complete listing of all plot holders in the schemes was carried out and the list was used for the selection of plot holders using systematic random sampling.

In Large Scale Commercial Farms, sample farms were selected from the register of all Large Scale Commercial Farms which is stratified by province and district. The selection of farms was done using probability proportional to size, the measure of size being the farms area. The sample of farms is selected by systematic random sampling.
In Small Scale Commercial Farms, farms were selected from the register of Small Scale Commercial Farms. The selection of farms was done using probability proportional to size, the measure of size being the number of farms in the district. The sample of farms is selected by systematic random sampling.
A register of A1 Farms stratified by province and district was used for selection of A1 Farms. Selection of farms was done using probability proportional to size, the measure of size being the number of plot holders in each farm. A complete listing of plot holders is done and is used for the second stage sampling which is selection of plot holders using systematic random sampling.
A sample of A2 Farms is selected from a register of A2 Farms which is stratified by province and district. Selection of farms is done using probability proportional to size the measure of size being the number of plot holders in each farm. A complete listing of plot holders was done and was used for the second stage sampling which is selection of plot holders using systematic random sampling.

Villages were then selected from each selected scheme using probability proportional to size the measure of size being the number of plot holders in each village. A complete listing of all plot holders in the selected villages was carried out. The list was used for the third stage sampling of plot holders using systematic random sampling from each of the selected village plot-holder list.
For Model B2 Resettlement Schemes a complete census was carried out. A complete listing of all plot holders in the schemes is carried out and the list is used for the selection of plot holders using systematic random sampling.
For Model E Resettlement Schemes a complete census is carried out. A complete listing of all plot holders in the schemes was carried out and the list was used for the selection of plot holders using systematic random sampling.

Supervision
Interviewing was conducted by teams of interviewers.
The role of the supervisor was to coordinte field data collection activities, including management of the field teams, supplies and equipment, finances, maps and listings, coordinate with local authorities concerning the survey plan and make arrangements for accommodation and travel. Additionally, the field supervisor assigned the work to the interviewers, spot checked work, maintained field control documents, and sent completed questionnaires and progress reports to the central office.
The team leader was responsible for reviewing each questionnaire at the end of the day, checking for missed questions, skip errors, fields incorrectly completed, and checking for inconsistencies in the data. The team leader also observed interviews and conducted review sessions with interviewers.
Responsibilities of the supervisors and team leaders are described in the Instructions for Supervisors and team leaders, together with the different field controls that were in place to control the quality of the fieldwork.
Field visits were also made by a team of Head office staff on a periodic basis during fieldwork.
