Mission to Sudan

Abstract

This report relates to a joint mission to Khartoum, Sudan. The objective of the mission was to formulate a program of household surveys from Sudan as part of the national household survey capability program. The mission conducted interviews with a number of potential users of household surveys statistics as well as with selected international agencies. The mission proposed that a relatively light program of household surveys be undertaken in the period of the four-year salvation and development plan (1987 to 1991). It was also considered that household surveys could not be undertaken during major data collections such as the 1991 agricultural census or 1993 population census.
