Household and Individual ICT Access and Usage Survey 2005-2008 - Benin, Burkina Faso, Botswana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia

Abstract
---------------------------

Research ICT Africa (RIA) is a non-profit, public interest, research entity which undertakes research on how information and communication technologies are being accessed and used in African countries. The aim is to measure the impact on lifestyles and livelihoods of people and households and to understand how informal businesses can prosper through the use of ICTs. This research can facilitate informed policy-making for improved access, use and application of ICT for social development and economic growth. RIA collects both supply-side and demand-side data. On the demand-side nationally representative surveys are conducted on ICT use and demand in African countries. This survey dataset consists of data collected by household surveys in seventeen African countries between 2005 and 2008.

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure
---------------------------

The random sampling was performed in four steps. The survey was stratified into metropolitan (major urban), other urban and rural areas. Enumerator areas (EAs) were sampled for each stratum using probability proportional to size (PPS). Households within EAs were selected using simple random sampling. One individual from each household was randomly selected from all household members and visitors that stayed at the home on the night the household was visited that were 16 years of age or older (refer to the methodology document for more detail on sampling).

The RIA questionnaire was divided into three sections. The first part, the household roster, collected information about all household members. The second part collected household-related information. The head of the household or someone that manages the household answered part one and two. The third part, the individual section, was answered by a randomly selected individual 16 years of age or older who slept in the house the night of the interview, which included household members and visitors.

样本调查数据 [ssd]
抽样程序
---------------------------
随机抽样分为四个步骤进行。调查首先被分层为城市（主要城市）、其他城市和农村地区。在每个层中使用规模成比例抽样（PPS）对调查区域进行了抽样。在调查区域内，家庭通过简单随机抽样方法进行选择。从每个家庭的成员和访问者中随机选取一名16岁或以上的个体作为调查对象，条件是他们在被访问的当晚留宿于该家庭（关于抽样的更多详细信息，请参阅方法文档）。
