The Performance, Monitoring, and Accountability Survey (PMA2020) is a multinational, five-year initiative to monitor key indicators for water, sanitation, and family planning. The project was implemented by local research organizations using female enumerators and smartphone-based software.

The data were collected in the Burkina Faso Round 6 survey through questionnaires for households, women ages 15-49, and service delivery points (SDPs). The major topics covered in the household and women's questionnaire included household characteristics, assets, sanitation, fertility, and contraceptive use. The SDP questionnaires focused on facility type, location, staffing, and size based on the number of beds.

The sample size for this survey was 2,763 households, 3,388 females, and 96 SDPs.

The General population and housing census (5th RGPH) was conducted from 16 November to 15 December 2019 by the Central Census Office (BCR) under the authority of the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Development, enumerating a total resident population of 20,487,979 inhabitants, made up up 9,894,028 men and 10,593,951 women.

The National Nutrition Survey conducted in 2011 was undertaken with the primary objective to assess the nutritional status of children ages 0 to 59 months in Burkina Faso. To collect this information, this survey adopted the Standardized Monitoring and Assessment for Relief and Transition (SMART) methodology as well as recorded anthropometric measurements of children. 

The data were collected through in-person household interviews and anthropometric measurements taken from children. The sample size for this survey was 21,123 children from 20,615 households.

The Burkina Faso Continuous Multisectoral Survey (EMC) was developed as a system to monitor indicators for sustainable development and Millennium Development Goals. The survey took place in four quarterly rounds, conducted between January and December 2014. A sample of 10,411 households were interviewed in each of the four survey visits. Four main questionnaires were used, one in each visit, as well as a price questionnaire that was used in each visit and an agricultural questionnaire that was implemented in the fourth visit. Questionnaires collected information on household characteristics, health status, household expenditures, food expenditures and consumption, employment, and reproductive histories of women over the age of 15. Child anthropometric measurements and immunization histories were also collected.

GPS coordinates were collected as part of the agricultural questionnaire.
