Summary 

The LCMS series of surveys in Zambia were originally based on the Priority Surveys of 1991 and 1993. While the Priority Surveys were aimed at evaluating structural adjustment policies, the LCMS series focused on providing indicators of living conditions and poverty.

The 1996 LCMS I was the first in the series. The sampling frame for the LCMS I was obtained from the 1990 Census. Census supervisory areas were split into standard enumeration areas (SEAs). Out of a total of 12,999 SEAs, a sample of 610 SEAs (261 urban and 349 rural) were selected. A total of 6,550 urban households and 5,220 rural households were included in the sample.

Three questionnaires were used, one for households, one for individuals 12-years old and above, and one for children 11-years old and below. The poverty estimates are not comparable across all surveys in this series.
