Summary 

The sample for the Samoa MICS 2019-20 was designed to provide estimates for indicators on the situation of children and women at the national level, for urban and rural areas, and for the four regions of the country: Apia Urban Area, North West Upolu, Rest of Upolu and Savaii. The urban and rural areas were identified as the main sampling strata and the sample of households was selected in two stages. Within each stratum, a specified number of census enumeration areas were selected using systematic equal probability sampling procedure. A systematic sample of 20 households from rural EAs and 15 households from urban EAs was drawn. All of the selected enumeration areas were visited during the fieldwork data collection. The sampling frame was based on 2016 Samoa Census of Population and Housing. It was calculated that 204 sample clusters would need to be selected in total. As the sample is not self-weighting, sample weights are used for reporting survey results.
