Ghana - National Transport Household Survey, 2007

A sample of 6,000 households was selected from 400 Enumeration Areas (EAs) for the survey. The frame from which the sample was selected was based on the 2000 Population and Housing Census. The frame was stratified into urban/rural and the 10 administrative regions of the country before sample selection.

The sample was selected in two stages. The first stage involved the systematic selection of 400 EAs with probability proportional to size, the measure of size being the number of households in an EA. The second stage involved the selection of 20 households from each selected EA. The first 15 households selected in each EA were interviewed and the extra 5 households served as backup for replacement in case of a non-response or the absence of a selected household.


The survey was implemented according to the Sample Design. The only difference from other surveys was that households which could not be located were replaced.


Sample eights were calculated for eac Enumeraion Area for the computation of estimates for the entire population. These were adjusted by the number of households successfully interviewed using the household listing done for the survey.
