SENEGAL_95  and SENESAM

SENEGAL_95 is drawn from a nationally representative survey carried out in 1995 Sénégal (the Enquête sénégalaise auprès des ménages), with sample selection using a multi-stage stratified random sampling procedure. The country was first split in five strata. The first sampling stage consisted in the selection of PSU's (enumeration areas, or Secteurs d'énumération (SE)) from a 1990 "Master Sample" list with probability proportional to the number of households in the PSU's. 396 SE were thus selected in the urban area and 204 in the rural area. Census districts were then selected within each SE. In a final stage, 15 households were systematically selected within each of the urban census districts, and similarly 24 households were systematically selected within each of the rural census districts.
