African household survey capability programme

Abstract

The attached draft project document deals with the establishment of the regional component of the African Household Survey Capability Programme (AHSCP) which was approved by the ECA Conference of Ministers at its third meeting in February 1975 The project provides for the appointment of two survey specialists, one English and one French speaking, who will assist countries with household surveys currently in operation and will collaborate with others in drawing up and implementing plans for new survey programmes. The project has been submitted to UNDP for funding. However, UNDP's current regulations require that before a regional project is funded; the endorsement of support from participating governments should be conveyed formally through the normal channels of communication.
