Sample Design The sample for the <strong>AMICS</strong> was designed to provide estimates for a large number of indicators on the situation of children and women at the national level, for urban and rural areas, in eight regions: Central, Central Highlands, East, North, North East, South, South East, and West. The list of provinces by region is shown below: Name of Name of Province Name of Name of Province Region Region Central Kabul Wardak North East Baghlan Takhar Kapisa Logar Badakhshan Kunduz Parwan Panjsher Central Bamyan Daikundi South Uruzgan Helmand Highlands Zabul Nimroz Kandahar East Nangarhar Kunar South East Ghazni Paktya Laghman Nooristan Paktika Khost North Samangan Sar-e-Pul West Ghor Herat Balkh Jawzjan Badghis Farah Faryab Figure 2.1: Map Showing Regions Sampled 6
A stratified two-stage sample design was used for the <strong>AMICS</strong>. The primary sampling units (PSUs) are the enumeration areas (EAs), which are segments with well-defined boundaries delineated by the CSO within each administrative unit for the purposes of census enumeration. The EAs have an average of about 185 households each, which is a reasonable size for conducting a new listing of households. The sampling frame has a total of 21,194 EAs covering the territory of Afghanistan. The frame was based on a quick count of the households and population in each EA that the CSO had previously conducted in preparation for the census. For the calculation of the sample size, the key indicator used was the rate of fully immunized children from 12 to 23 months. The urban and rural areas within each region were identified as the main sampling strata and the sample was selected in two stages. Within each stratum, a specified number of EAs were selected systematically with probability proportional to size as the first stage. After a household listing was carried out within the selected EAs, a systematic sample of 30 households was drawn in each sample EA as the second stage. The selection of 30 households per sample EA was based on the consideration of the high costs of transportation, logistics for the fieldwork, and cost-effective cluster size. Sample Coverage Table 2.1 shows the number of households, women, men, and children under five by results of the household, women's, men's and under-5's interviews, and household, women's, men's and under-5's response rates.
