The LECS 2 sample was made up of 8 882 households from 450 villages, 20 households from each, enumerated over 12 months starting 1st of March 1997 and ending 28th of February 1998. The sample was selected using the 1995 Population Census as a sampling frame. A two-stage sampling scheme was used. At the first stage a sample of enumeration areas (EAs) was selected by PPs sampling. A register of Ea:s which are villages or part of villages established for the Census was used as a sampling frame and stratified in the following way. Firstly the EAs were divided by province, and secondly into urban EAs, rural EAs with access to road and rural EAs without access to road. In all, the EA population was divided into 18 (provinces) x 3 (urban/rural classes) = 54 sampling strata. 25 EAs was selected in each province. The sample size was 102 EAs in urban stratum, 140 in rural stratum with access to road and 208 in rural stratum without access to road.
