A grid-based sample design framework for household surveys

Traditional sample designs for household surveys are contingent upon the availability of a representative primary sampling frame. This is defined using enumeration units and population counts retrieved from decennial national censuses that can become rapidly inaccurate in highly dynamic demographic settings. To tackle the need for representative sampling frames, we propose an original grid-based sample design framework introducing essential concepts of spatial sampling in household surveys.

Reaching Never- and Incompletely-Vaccinated Children with Routine Immunization: A Proof-of-Concept Activity Using Geo-Referenced Microplans in Two Health Zones in Maniema Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo

GRID3’s geospatial mapping work in Kindu and Kibombo, Maniema Province, DRC, was central to a collaborative proof-of-concept with the DRC’s EPI Programme, CDC, and AFENET: participatory mapping and house-to-house enumeration located under-vaccinated children by locality, and GRID3’s maps then guided […]
