Introduction
The Census of Population and Housing consists of counting and describing the population and houses in a defined area at a particular time. Hence, through a Census, we can determine the number of residents and housing units, including their features.

The Republic of Mozambique has already carried out three General Censuses of Population and Housing: the first was in 1980, the second in 1997 and the third in 2007. From August 1 to 15, 2017, the IV General Census of Population and Housing (2017 Census) will take place.

This Manual is part of the material that will be used in the Census and aims to assist the enumerator in collecting data from family units. This will help you to formulate the questions correctly and fill out the census forms properly. During the training course, the enumerator will receive instructions on how to conduct interviews with the respondents, as well as how on correctly filling out the forms.

On the back cover of this manual, you will find the Census Law, which establishes, among other aspects, the obligation to respond to the questions on the forms, meaning that all individuals covered by the Census are required to provide, truthfully, the statistical data requested of them.
Within this scope, the Census Law establishes penalties for those who refuse to provide the data required in the census forms, or those who provide false statements. Therefore, when taking a census and whenever you notice that the citizen expresses any doubt about the legality of the Census, show the Law, particularly the Articles 6 and 7, which are related to the aspects of response obligation and confidentiality.

Read the manual carefully and ask your instructor any questions you may have during the training for proper clarification. If you need to refer to something, whether during the course and when taking the census of households, use your manual.

During the census, if you still have doubts about a specific situation after consulting the manual, please reach out to your superior.

1. General principles for census taking

1.1. Purpose of the census
The General Census of Population and Housing essentially aims to obtain statistical data that provides an accurate portrayal of the country's population size and characteristics, as well as the available housing stock. As an illustration, through the 2017 Census, among other elements, we will understand the following aspects of every region of the country:

1.2. Who is required to participate in the census?
The census will cover all people living in Mozambique and anyone else who is present in the country at the census moment, regardless of their residency status.

Since the number of people and their characteristics change over time, it is necessary that all answers to the questions in the census forms refer to a specific moment, called census moment. The census moment is the exact day and time that serves as a common reference for stating the responses on the forms. That is, when answering the questions in the forms, the respondent must refer to the situation in which they found themselves at midnight on August 1, 2017, and not provide information regarding the day of the interview.

Understanding the census moment is essential to accurately determine the number of individuals present and residing in each province, district, city, village, municipality, etc., at a specific time. For the 2017 Census, the census moment will be considered to be at 12am on August 1, 2017.

[p.5]
Practically speaking, it won't be achievable to survey all households on August 1. Therefore, most of the population will be surveyed afterward. To comply with the concept of the census moment, enumerators must carefully observe the following guidelines:

Must be registered:

Who is required to participate in the census?
[The chart containing information on persons to participate in the census data collection is omitted here]

1.3. Data collection method
The data collection method to be adopted in the census will be door-to-door interviews, for
the population living in family units. The population residing in institutional households (hotels, guest houses, asylums, nursing homes, orphanages, prisons, etc.) will be included in the census conducted at those facilities.

1.4. Census forms
2 forms will be used: (i) Family Unit Form and (ii) Institutional Household Form.

The family unit form is divided into two parts:

The institutional household form, in addition to the geographic location of the housing, will collect the name, gender and total number of non-residents of the household who spent the reference night in the accommodation and whose maximum period of stay is less than 6 months. This form will only be used for institutional households (hospital unit, hotel/guest house, barracks/military camp, boarding school/college/home, prison and others).

1.5. Who should respond to the family unit and institutional household form?
All adult and suitable people living in family units and all people living in institutional households for a period equal to or greater than six months, if they are present, must personally answer the individual questions in the Family Unit Form (Section C).

Individual information on minors, absent, disabled and deceased people will be provided by the heads of the respective family units, as well as data on the characteristics and conditions of housing (Section D), durable goods and access to information and communication technologies (Section E), agricultural and fish farming activity (Section F) and mortality (Section G).

If the head of the household is absent, ill or unable to provide information, this will be provided by a member designated by the household.

People who live in institutional households for a period of less than 6 months will be counted in the collective census form, which will be answered by the head of the institutional household.

2. Basic concepts and definitions

Family unit-- A family unit is understood as the entire group of people linked or not by kinship, who live in the same house and share meals (food from the same pot) and most of the household expenses.

If there are rooms or areas in a house occupied by domestic workers with their families, or rented to another family, these should be considered as independent households. People living alone in a residence should also be considered as one family unit.

[p.8]

Attention. The person in charge of the family unit is not always the head. Always ask who is the head of the family unit and register that person as such in the part of the form designated for questions for people. This should always be the first person.

Head of family unit -- The person in charge of the family unit or the person who, for the purposes of the census, is indicated as such by the other members. In each family unit, there always must be a head and this person must be a resident, whether or not present at the time of the census, as long as their absence lasts less than 6 months.

Institutional households/residences -- It refers to facilities where people, typically without family ties, live together for reasons of health, education, tourism, military service, religion or for other reasons.

For census purposes, this category includes: hotels, nursing homes, schools, assisted living facilities, barracks, orphanages, hospitals, boarding houses, jails, and other similar facilities.
If, within the institutional household, there are family housings, intended for the administrative or service staff of the facility, its members must be considered as independent family units.

All people or groups of people who have kinship relationships with each other and share expenses, but who live permanently in institutional households, must also be considered as independent family units.

[p.9]

The person's absence from the family unit must be less than 6 months. If the absence is equal to or more than 6 months, the person should not be included in the family unit census.

Examples of the latter cases include people residing in hotels, as customers, and other similar cases that may occur in other institutional households.

Census moment -- This is the moment to which the information collected during the Census refers. In the case of the 2017 Census, the census moment is defined as 12am on August 1, 2017 (the night of July 31 to August 1).

Nationality -- It is the legal citizenship of the individual at the Census Moment. Nationality is considered a bond established between a citizen and a specific State. The nationalities shown on the Identity Card, Passport or Foreign Resident Identification Document (DIRE) will be considered.

Birthplace -- It refers to the place where the person was born, that is, where the mother lived during pregnancy.

Usual resident - A person who usually lives in the family unit, whether present or not, at the time of the interview.

Present resident -- Individuals who usually live in the family unit and spent the night of reference, that is, the night of July 31 to August 1, 2017, regardless of whether or not they were physically present at the time of the interview.

The following cases should be considered as present residents:

[p.10]

[A figure is omitted here]

Should not be considered as present residents

Absent resident -- A person who usually resides in the family unit, due to different circumstances, did not spend the reference night (July 31 to August 1, 2017) in their usual residence, and their absence period is no longer than 6 months.

An absent resident should be considered as follows:

The following cases should not be considered as an absent resident:

[p.11]

Visitor -- Refers to people who do not normally reside in the family unit but who spent the reference night there, even if they were not present at the time of the interview.

Habitual residence -- It is the place where the person usually lives.

Marital status -- Refers to an individual's situation concerning marriage or marital experience, as defined by laws, usages and customs. The marital statuses that are subject to census clearance are outlined as follows:

Live births -- This refers to the total number of children a woman has given birth to during her lifetime who showed signs of life such as breathing immediately after birth. All births where the child showed signs of life are included in this count, regardless of whether:

[p.12]
Children who were born alive (showed signs of life), but who died after childbirth should also be included

Children who were born dead, meaning they did not breathe or show signs of life after separation from their mother's body, should not be included. Stepchildren, meaning children born to the interviewee's husband with another woman, should not be included. Grandchildren, nieces, and adopted children should not be registered as the interviewee's children.

Currently living children -- This refers to the number of children who are currently alive, regardless of whether they are physically present at the time of the census or typically reside in the family unit. For example: married children living in their own homes, children working or studying elsewhere within or outside the country, etc.

Children born in the last 12 months -- Refers to the number of children born in the period from August 1, 2016 to July 31, 2017.

Housing (house) For the purposes of the census, housing is considered to be any place intended for accommodating people.

Enumeration area (EA) A geographically defined space, delimited by the Instituto Nacional de Estatistica (National Statistics Institute), assigned to an enumerator, for the purpose of collecting data over a determined period.

Farm: refers to a plot of land separated from others by natural (rivers) or artificial borders (roads, paths, hedges, demarcation with other farms, etc.) that is intended for agricultural production. Backyards with crops are not included in this question.

Fruit tree -- It is a plant with a wood structure (stem) that bears fruit (Ex: Orange, Lemon, Avocado, etc.)

[p.13]

Commit to work with discipline, good behavior, and responsibility:

Fruit plant -- It is a plant without wood structure (stem) that bears fruit (Ex: pineapple, vine, strawberry plants, etc.).

Aquaculture pond -- Tank built in the ground that can be coated with cement/concrete or not, and which construction follows specific techniques. These tanks are intended for fish farming.

Traditional fishing -- It is a type of fishing characterized by family labor, with small boats, canoes, rafts or even without boats (in the case of mollusks) near the coast.

3. Roles, materials and procedures during data collection

3.1 General roles and working method
The enumerator's main task is to interview people in family units, collect data and record them correctly in the forms. The census will be conducted door-to-door.

People living on the streets, avenues, parks, public places, etc., must be counted on the 1st day of the census. These individuals will be counted by special teams, set up by the Census Executive Offices (OER), operating in neighborhoods and localities. The location where these people stay overnight must be identified before the census start date.

During the census, there will both urban and rural enumerators. The former will work in cities and towns, in teams consisting of 3 or 4 enumerators. Meanwhile, rural enumerators will work in rural areas, in teams consisting of 2 or 3 enumerators.

Each team will have a work area that will be overseen by one controller. Each enumerator must:

[Sections 3.2, 3.3.1, and 3.3.2 from the original document are omitted here]

[p.24]

3.3.3 Prior recognition of the enumeration area
The enumerator should conduct a survey of their enumeration area two days before the census starts to understand its scope, identify its boundaries and inhabited areas. It is advisable to start by identifying the departure and arrival points and to strictly rely on the descriptive text to help you recognize the boundaries of the EA. Also pay close attention to the information regarding the hierarchy of limits, presented in the geographic location, as these generally coincide with the administrative limits.

Most enumeration area boundaries are visible. In urban areas, there are roads and avenues, while in rural areas, there are rivers, paths, mountains, etc. However, the assistance of a local guide is very useful to verify the boundaries of the enumeration area and locate inhabited places, as well as to identify "areas with mines" or other types of restricted areas.

To avoid omissions and duplications of family units, respect the enumeration area limits by listing all residents and not exceeding its boundaries.

3.3.4 How to take a census in institutional households?
Examples of institutional households include hospitals, maternity wards, orphanages, assisted living facilities, training centers, barracks, hotels or guest houses, student dorms, workers' camps, prisons. In these cases, the census must be organized by the Census Executive Office, in advance and in coordination with the head or director of the institutional household, to collect information on the people staying there and that had spent the reference night.

In institutional households, there can be three categories of people:

People living in institutional households will be counted by a special team made up of local employees, suitably qualified for the task.

3.3.5 Confidentiality
All statistical information provided by family units or individuals is confidential.

What does confidentiality mean?

The confidential nature of statistical data is determined by the General Census of Population and Housing Law and by the National Statistical System (Law 7/96 dated June 5). Its purpose is to establish an environment of trust, in which people can provide honest answers without being exposed to any form of repercussions. The enumerator must strictly observe the requirements of confidentiality throughout all phases of their work, or else they may face sanctions as stipulated by Law.

3.3.6 How to earn the trust of respondents?
To establish an environment of trust with the people to be counted, the enumerator must:

4. The census report

4.1 General filling instructions
To avoid omitting people within the family unit, write in the Section B (List of family unit members), the names (first name and last name) of all members who usually reside in the family unit, starting with the name of the head of the family unit and then the remaining members in order of the degree of kinship in relation to the head, starting by the spouse, children (from the youngest to the oldest), and then the remaining relatives and unrelated people.

Then, register all visitors who spent the reference night in the family unit, whether or not they were present at the time of the interview.

If the head of the family unit has more than one wife, start by registering him, the first wife and her respective children; next, the second wife and their respective children. That is if both wives and their children live in the same household and live as a single family unit. Otherwise, consider them as independent family units, and one of the wives becomes the head of an independent family unit with their children.

[p.26]

Enumerator: the member's list of the family unit must be filled out directly on the form. Do not use drafts to save time and avoid transcription errors.

[p.27]

If there are visitors who spent the reference night with the family unit, they should also be
registered.

After writing down all the names, proceed to the next page (Section C: Questions about
the population), to collect individual data from each member of the family unit, starting with
the head of the family unit and following the same sequence as in the list (section B).
Keep in mind that adult individuals must personally provide their individual data whenever
they are present during the interview; if they are absent, their respective data should be
informed by the head of the family unit or from a competent person who can act on their
behalf. In the case of children, absentees, mentally disabled individuals, deaf, mute and
deceased (after 12am on August 1, 2017), their information will be provided by the head of
the family unit or a person designated by family unit.

When you finish Section C for all family unit members, move on to Section D (Housing characteristics and conditions) to collect data on the housing. Keep in mind that the head of the family unit, or another member designated by the other family unit members, is the responsible for answering sections D to G. Then, move to Section E to collect information on durable goods and access to information and communication technologies. Following that, you will fill in Section F to collect information on agricultural and fish farming activities.

After finishing all other sections, move on to Section G to collect data on mortality.

Once you have completed filling out all sections of the form, you should return to section B
to specify the total number of people living in the family unit.

The forms must be completed by marking an with black ballpoint pen in the corresponding square.
[A figure containing an example is omitted here]

In questions where the answer must be numerical, that is, a number, you must fill in like this "12" if the number is 12, "05" if it is 5.

Write the answer when you are sure that the interviewee understood correctly, the question and that the answer is correct. In case of error, by marking the answer given, do not delete to invalidate the answer. Color the wrong option [completely] and come back to mark the correct option and should not be erased in any way.

[Pages 28-32 from the original document are omitted here.]

[p.33]

4.1.2 How to ask the form questions?
The way you ask the questions and record the answers in the census form is very important. When asking questions you should:

4.1.3 How to complete the form?
To save time, the day before the interview, fill out the Section A of forms -- Geographic location -- transcribing the information that appears on the map of your enumeration area.

In enumeration areas, where there is more than one village/communal unit/block or zone/block, write their number as you proceed with the census. For this, you should ask family units in which blocks they are located.

Always bear in mind that, when helping another enumerator in another enumeration area, you must write the code from the EA where you are helping.

4.1.4 Number of forms per family unit/residence
Use a census form for each family unit. Up to 6 people can be registered in a single form. In cases where there are more than 6 persons, use more forms, until the census for the family unit is completed.

For institutional households, use a family unit form for residents and an institutional household form for non-residents. In an institutional household form, you can list 227 individuals. Whenever there are over 227 individuals, make sure to use the additional sheets until the survey is completed.

Enumerator: Transcribe the data from Section A (Geographic location of the housing) of the family unit form for all continuation forms. You should also indicate whether the form is a continuation or not.

[p.34]

[An example of a family unit form is omitted here]

4.2 Specific instructions for filling out forms

[p.35]

Family unit form
In this form, information about the family unit members and the housing where they reside should be registered with their respective characteristics, durable goods, agricultural and fish farming activities, as well as information on deaths occurred in the family unit in the last 12 months.

Do not add information on the housing and its characteristics in the case of collective housing.

Is this a continuation form?
If the number of members of the family unit exceeds 6, use an additional form. In the first form, mark with X (X) in the option "no" to indicate that the form is not a continuation form. From the second form onwards, mark the option "yes" with an X and fill in the number of the first form (copy the number from the footer, between the two bar codes) in the space reserved for this purpose (in the upper right).

In the form number/total number of forms space, add the total number of forms completed for the family unit. For example, if a family unit has 14 members, you will fill out 3 forms.
Note that the first form is not a continuation form. Therefore, you should always select the option "no".

Section A: Geographic location of the housing
This section must be completed by the enumerator before beginning the fieldwork. All forms should contain codes for the place where the census is being conducted (Section A of the form). Fill in the respective codes. These can be found on the enumeration area map; copy them into the forms.

[p.36]

A1. Area of residence
The form is planned for two categories of area of residence: urban and rural. In this part, the enumerator will select only one option. Mark with X the housing area of the family unit. Mark an X in the option "urban" for all cities or villages under the "municipality" category.
Once again, this information appears on the enumeration area map; transcribe it.

The codes for A2. Province, A3. District, A4. Administrative office, A5. Location/village, A6. Neighborhood, A7. Enumeration area, A8. Village/communal unit/block and A9. Zone/Block, are also available on the enumeration area map; transcribe them to the forms.

House number
In this question, the enumerator should first consult and identify the name of the head of the family unit that appears on the list on the enumeration area map and extract the corresponding house number, according to the map (A10).

If there are two or more independent family units living in the same house, each of them will have the same house number.

Number of family units in this house
In this question, indicate the total number of independent family units living in the house that you registered. If you use more than one form for the same family unit, repeat this number on all forms.

[p.37]

If you find a number of family units in the house that is different of the number of family units on the enumeration area map, you should register the number of family units found in the house. If the number of family units is smaller than predicted on the EA map, register the number of family units found and cross out the family units that have moved out of the EA map. And, if the number is greater, register all family units, starting with the family units listed on the enumeration area map. Next, list the new family units on the EA map.

Number of this family unit
In this question, the enumerator should refer to the list of family units shown in column A11
of the enumeration area map, and extract the number corresponding to each family unit.
For example, in the house number 022 (table below), there are three independent family
units and Jaime Alfinete Faztudo's number is 2.

Please note that this numbering follows a sequence only within the same residence, meaning you should initiate the enumeration with family unit no. 1 in each house, and not the last one recorded in the previous residence.

If you find a number of family units in the house that is different of the number of family units on the enumeration area map, you should register the number of family units found in the house. Therefore, if any family unit listed on the EA map has moved out, their line on the EA map must be removed. And, if you find a new family unit in the house, that is, one that is not listed on the map, assign the sequential number to this family unit and register it on the enumeration area map, in the space reserved for this purpose.

Village/communal unit/block
The name of the village/communal unit/block can be found on the enumeration area map;
copy it to the form.

Name of the head of the family unit
Each family unit should have a head, who is appointed by its members. Write the name of
the head of the family unit on the form. The list of family units, which can be found on the
map, has the name of each family unit head; however, this name may change upon
recommendation from the family unit members. If applicable, write down the name given at
the time of the interview.

[p.38]
In cases where the form is used to list people living in institutional households (residents for 6 months or more), the name of the person responsible for the household will be added in this field, along with the name of the household.

Street/avenue
Write the name of the street, no., floor, and flat number. For example, July 24, no. 1989, floor 5, flat 1.

Description for cases with no address available
The space for description should be used in cases where there are unnamed streets or house numbers. In these cases, you should write down one or more reference points to make it easier to locate the house. For example, write "near the central market", "on the right side of the S. António Church", etc.

Section B: List of family unit members

B1. Person number names of people in the family unit
In this section, list all the people that usually live in the family unit (residents), whether they are present or not, including those who died after 12am on August 1, 2017. Then, list the visitors who spent the night from July 31 to August 1, 2017 (visitors), regardless of whether or not they were physically present at the time of the interview.

Be careful not to record people born after 12am on August 1, 2017, or people who died before 12am on August 1, 2017 in the form.

Begin by writing down the head of the family unit's name, followed by the members in order of their relationship to the head, starting with the spouse, children (from youngest to oldest), and then other relatives and unrelated individuals.

Please note that the name in section a (name of the head of the family unit) should be the first in sections b and c (head of family unit).

[p.39]

if there is more than one wife in the family unit, after the head of the household, list the first wife and her children, followed by the second wife and her children. That is if both wives and their children live in the same household and live as a single family unit. Otherwise, consider them as independent units.

As you fill in the names, ask if they are residents or visitors and mark an X in the box corresponding to resident or visitor, as applicable. This will simplify the preliminary assessment you will conduct after the interview. Don't forget to list any visitors who spent the reference night in the household and then left.

If there are more than 6 people in the family unit, use an additional form and mark an X in the option "yes" (Is this form a continuation?) on the form that is a continuation. Follow these steps for all continuation forms, except for the first form for the family unit. In this case, you should mark the option "No" (Is this form a continuation?).

B2. If it is not a continuation form
write them down by gender. Only habitual residents in the accommodation unit should be interviewed. For easier calculation, count the individuals marked with X in the "Resident" box.

At the end of the interview, the enumerator should count all the people listed and,

[p.40]

When a family unit or residence has more than 6 people and 2 or more forms have been used, the register should be done on the first form (main form), including all individuals listed in the continuation forms. Visitors should not be included in this listing.

Example:
- In one unit, 15 people were listed, of which 11 are residents, 5 men and 6 women, and the remaining 4 are visitors.
- Therefore, the correct enumeration will be:
Specify the total number of individuals living in the family unit 1 1
Specify how many individuals per gender:
Male 0 5 Female 0 6.

Section C: Questions about the population

Q1. Name of the individual
Write down the person's name as per the sequence outlined in Section B. The first individual to be interviewed in the form should be the head of family unit, regardless of their gender; then the spouse, and finally the children, from youngest to oldest.

Given the limited space of the form, there's no need to include the full name, just the first and last. For example: Casimira Xavier, Sumail Abacar, Amélia Francisco, etc.
If it is a child that has not been named yet, write "baby". Many times, children who do not yet have a name are omitted. Therefore, pay attention to ensure that this does not happen.

Attention, enumerator:

[p.41]

Q2. What is the kinship relationship with the head of the unit?
This question aims to know the degree of relationship of each person who lives in the family unit in relation to the head of the family unit. Read the question and wait for the answer. Mark with an X the number corresponding to the answer, ensuring there is only one answer.

Note that each family unit should have only one head. Therefore, the first page of Section C is intended for the head of the family unit, while the subsequent pages are for the remaining members, who will be recorded in the order mentioned above.

The kinship relationships to be taken into account for the purposes of this census are:

Note: The kinship relationship must be defined in relation to the head of the family unit. For example:

[p.42]

Q3. Specify the gender
All the information that will be collected in the census will be cross-referenced in relation to the gender of individuals. Always ask the gender of each respondent, especially in cases where the individual to be listed is not present at the time of the interview. Keep in mind that there are names that, initially, do not reveal the person's gender. Here are some examples of names that can be used for an individual of either gender:

There are also names that are not very common in all parts of our country, such as:

Write X in box 1 if the respondent's gender is male, and in box 2, if female.

Q4. How old is the person?
This question is equally important as it will enable the analysis of all age-based information. For example, illiteracy, fertility, mortality rates, etc., are calculated based on the age declared in the census.

Ensure you write down the age of every member of the family unit accurately.

The age of each person must be specified as the number of years completed on their last birthday, taking into account the census moment. For example, if an individual was born on August 31, 2016, they will not have completed 1 year of age by August 1, 2017. In this situation, the enumerator should write the following on the form: 0 0 0 .

If the person is 9 years old, you should write the age in the form as follows: 0 0 09 etc.

Keep in mind that:

[p.43]

Age is recorded in a 3-digit format. If the enumerated person is 7 years old, first write 00 before the age, like this: 0 0 07.

To determine the age of people who do not know it:

If, through these methods, it is not yet possible to determine the age, the enumerator must try to obtain it by comparing with other enumerated individuals of known age or through the following procedure:

Q5. At midnight on august 1, 2017, in this family unit, you were:
This question seeks to establish the count of usual residents present, absent, as well as the number of visitors who were at the family unit on the night of July 31 to August 1, 2017. Read the question and each of the

[p.44]

possible answers (present resident, absent resident or visitor). Please note that only one answer is allowed for this question.

Keep in mind that the following cases should be considered as present residents:

Should not be considered as present residents:

The following example should be considered as an absent resident:

Cases similar to this one below should not be considered as an absent resident:

People who do not usually live in the family unit, but spent the reference night there, even if they are not at home at the time of the interviews, should be considered as visitors.

For people living in institutional households, the following situations should be taken into account:

Q6. What is your race?
An individual's race is not always easy to identify. For that, make sure you ask people about their race. Read the question and each of the possible answers: black, mixed race, white, Indian, Pakistani, Chinese or other. Mark X in the box of the number corresponding to the answer.
Remember that this question must always be answered. Please note that only one answer is allowed for this question.

Q7. Where were you born?
The aim is to know the individual's place of birth, which can be either Mozambique or abroad. A person may be born in one place and live in another. This question is designed to estimate migration. Read the question and wait for the answer.

If the respondent mentions a district or village that is inconsistent with the province, you'll have to make the necessary adjustments by discussing it with the respondent. If you have any doubts, seek assistance from a member of the family unit or use the table of districts and villages in annex B.

[p.46]
Keep in mind that:

Q7a. How long have you been living in this district?
The data to be collected through this question is essential to improve the statistical information on the migratory patterns of the population residing in Mozambique.
Therefore, ask each person how long they have been living in the district where they are living now and take into account the following possible answers:

Therefore, the number of years to be indicated for this individual is 18 years (3+5+10)
... rather than the 10 years of residence at the current address.

In cases where the person has previously lived in the current district but moved to another district or country, and then returned to the current district, all years of previous residence in the current district should be added together.

Thus, to get correct answers about the situation of individuals who have lived in more than one location within the district where they currently reside, ask if they have always resided in their current location within the district.

Q8. What is your nationality?

[p.47]

Read the question and wait for the answer. The answer should be based on the nationality stated on the identity card, passport, or foreign resident identification document (DIRE). Under no circumstances this question should be left blank. If you face any challenges in confirming nationality, ask for the documents mentioned above.

Q9. Do you have any disabilities/difficulties?
This question is very sensitive. Some people are uncomfortable with questions about their disabilities or those of their relatives, especially when related to minors. Therefore, try to be considerate when asking the question.

Consider the following cases as disabilities: blindness; deaf-muteness; arms amputated/atrophied; legs amputated/atrophied; paralysis; mental illness; impaired vision, even when wearing glasses; impaired hearing, even using a hearing aid; memory or concentration impairment; mobility impairment and others.

Avoid using terms such as lame, cripple, as they may offend the respondent.

If the respondent has any disability/difficulty, mark an X in the number box that corresponds to the type of disability. Otherwise, mark an X in box 01 and go to Q11.

Multiple answers are possible for this question. This means that, if the interviewee has an amputated leg and is blind at the same time, mark an X in boxes number 02 and 05.

[p.48]

Q10. What were the causes of the main disability/condition?
For all individuals who marked any type of disability in the previous question, ask what caused their main disability. The aim is to know how the person developed a specific type of disability. For example, if an individual has an amputated arm and says he lost his arm while working, mark X in box 05 (workplace accident).

Keep in mind that option 03 "mines/war" should be marked for individuals who have developed the disability due to this cause, as civilians. While alternative 04 "military service" should be marked for people who have developed the disability while serving in the military forces.
Keep in mind that this question also allows more than one answer, as a disability can be caused by several factors.

Q10a. How old were you when you acquired this disability/condition?
For all people who said they had a disability/condition in Q9, in question (Q10a) they should state the age at which they acquired the main disability/condition. Read the question and write down the answer. If the disability was present at birth or occurred before one year-old, write "00" in the appropriate space.

Q11. What is your religion?
For census purposes, all religions or beliefs should be considered, whether registered, organized or not at all. When in doubt about the religion of minors, the one declared by one of the parents should be recorded.

Read the question and wait for the respondent's answer. If a survey participant states they belong to the Anglican Church, mark box 02 with an X. It's not always straightforward to declare one's religion, as people might be familiar with the church's name only. For example, the respondent may say they belong to the St. Sebastian's Church; in this case, write the church's name in the designated space in legible letters. Do not use acronyms for religious denominations (ZCC, IPM, UCKG, etc.). If the name is too long, abbreviate some words and avoid using the word "church", as it is redundant. In case the name is too long, write it down in the notes (back cover).

[p.49]

Keep in mind that:

Q12. Is your biological mother alive?
This question aims to know whether the respondent's biological (birth) mother is alive or not. In other words, the stepmother, adoptive mother, guardian, or caregiver should not be considered as the mother.

Read the question and wait for the answer. Mark X in box 01 if the respondent's mother is alive; or X in box 02 if their mother has passed away; or X in box 03 if the respondent is unsure.

Q13. Is your biological father alive?
As in the previous question, now the same is asked regarding the biological father. Do not consider as a father, the stepfather, adoptive father, guardian or the person responsible for education and other duties.

Read the question and wait for the answer. Mark an X in box 01 if the respondent's father is alive; or box 02 if he is not alive; or box 03 if the respondent is unsure.

Only for individuals aged 0 to 17
[Questions 14 and 15 are asked only of persons aged 0 to 17 years old]

Q14. Have you been registered at the civil registry?
This question aims to know whether individuals aged 0 to 17 have been registered in the Civil Registry. Read the question and wait for the answer. If the answer is Yes, mark an X in box 01 move on to Q16. Otherwise, mark an X in box 02 and proceed to the next question.

Q15. Why have you not been registered?
For those who answered that they were not registered in Q14, the aim is to know the main reason why they were not registered. Ask the question, wait for the answer and mark X in the respective box. For example, if the respondent answers that child registration is not important, mark X in box 02 and move on to the next question

[p.50]

(Q16). If the respondent mentions another reason different from those provided in the form, write legibly in the space provided for this purpose.

Remember that this question must have only one answer.

This question aims to know whether the interviewee has or lacks literacy skills in any language. In this question, there must be only one answer.

Q19. Can you speak Portuguese?
Read the question and wait for the answer. We consider that someone knows how to speak Portuguese when they are able to have a conversation in Portuguese, that is, they can understand and express themselves, even if they do not speak this language correctly. In these cases, mark X in box 01. Otherwise, mark X in box 02.

Q20. What is your mother tongue?
This question intends to ascertain the language the interviewee learned to speak as a baby, regardless of whether they currently speak it or not.

For example, Mr. Carlos learned to speak in Echuwabo, so the answer is Echuwabo. Mark an X in box 07, regardless of whether he speaks other languages or not.

[p.52]

Read the question and write down the answer in the corresponding box. If the interviewee mentions a language other than those listed in the form, you must write the name of the language, in legible letters, in the field reserved for this purpose. For example; interviewees who use sign language. There should be only one answer.

Q21a. What language do you speak most often at home?
This question aims to ascertain the language used most frequently at home, regardless of whether or not they speak other languages at school or at work. The answer is also correct if the interviewee mentions that they frequently speak a language at home that they previously identified in questions Q19 or Q20.

Continuing with the example of Mr. Carlos, who, as we know, learned to speak Echuwabo but speaks Portuguese more frequently at home. So the language he speaks most frequently is Portuguese. In this case, mark an X in the box 02.

02. If it is a language other than the pre-codified ones, write the name of the language in legible letters in the field provided for this purpose.

There should be only one answer.

Q21b. In addition to the language above, what other languages do you use to communicate elsewhere?
This question aims to know people's ability to speak one or more languages. This information is important for understanding which languages can be used to convey public messages or information to the population effectively. Read the question and wait for the answer. Write the answer in the space provided, in legible letters. The correct answer must be a language different from those stated in questions Q19, Q20, and Q21a. If the interviewee does not speak a language other than the ones previously mentioned, mark an X in box 01 labeled "none".

Only for individuals aged 3 year or more
[Questions 22-27 are asked only of persons aged 3 years or older]

Q22. Tell if:
This question refers to school attendance at a regular, public, or private educational establishment, including distance learning courses.

Keep in mind that:
Participation in courses such as cutting and sewing, computing, or language courses (except if they are for obtaining an academic degree) is not considered school attendance.

Q23. Indicate your current level of education, or if you are not studying, the highest level you have attended:
This question should be answered by those who answered option 01 or 02 in Q22:
If the person answered option 01 in Q22 (Currently attending school), indicate the level of education. For example, if Mr. Taibo attends a Vocational School, mark an X in box 09.

For example:

[p.55]

Q24. What is the highest level of education you have completed?
Not everyone who claimed to have attended a particular level of education actually completed it. Therefore, all respondents who answered Q23 should state the highest level of education they completed. Read the question and write down the provided answer. Remember that you should only write one answer.

For example:

Q25. If you have completed a higher education course (bachelor's degree, master's degree, doctorate), please indicate the name of the course:
Only respondents who indicated completion of a higher education course in the previous question (Q24), marked with an X in boxes 11, 12, 13, or 14, should answer this question.

Read the question and wait for the answer. Mark X in box 01 if the answer is yes. Otherwise, mark box 02 and move on to question 27.

Q26b. What was the method of access?
All respondents who answered the previous question (Q26a) indicating they used the Internet in the last 3 months should answer this question. This question aims to know the means of Internet access used during these 3 months. In the census form, two methods of access were considered: Computer/laptop/tablet and smartphone. Therefore, mark X in box 01 if the answer is "computer/laptop/tablet", and in box 02 if it is "smartphone".

Note that this question may have more than one answer. Therefore, if access is through both types of equipment, mark boxes 01 and 02

Q26c. How many times have you used the internet in the last 3 months?
This question aims to know the extent of Internet usage by each member of the family unit. All individuals who have used the Internet, in any form (WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter , and similar platforms), in the last 3 months should answer this question.

Only for individuals aged 7 year or more
[Questions 28-37 are asked only of persons aged 7 years or older]

Questions Q28 to Q30 aim to assess the use of banking and financial products and services in the formal sector. Questions Q31 to Q37 aim to know whether the interviewee engaged in any economic activity for at least 1 (one) hour during the week of July 24 to July 30. An economic activity is defined as one that involves the production of goods or services, either for sale or for self-consumption, and is conducted in exchange for payment in cash. It also encompasses activities that contribute to family unit welfare (family farming, running small businesses, selling various products like cigarettes, soft drinks, roasted peanuts, etc.)

Q28. Do you have a bank account?
Simply put, a bank account is opened when an individual puts money into a bank branch or financial institution (bank). The individual becomes the holder of a bank account or current account. This service allows the bank to safeguard the money from the clients. To initiate this service, the individual must open a current account at a bank and make an initial deposit.
Read the question and wait for the answer. Mark X in box 01 if the answer is Yes. Otherwise, mark box 02.

Q29. Do you have bank credit from a regulated financial institution?
Bank credit refers to a type of loan where money is borrowed. It is a financial product that provides capital to companies or individuals based on trust. The primary goal is for financial institutions to earn profit. This profit is achieved through interest charged on the capital advanced to customers. This interest is repaid over an agreed period of time between both parties.
This question aims to know whether the interviewee has taken out a loan from a regulated financial institution (bank). Read the question and wait for the answer. Mark X in box 01 if the answer is Yes. Otherwise, mark box 02.

Q30. Do you use M-pesa, Mkesh (or similar services)?

M-Pesa and Mkesh are mobile financial services that enable users to transfer and withdraw money, pay for services such as television subscriptions (GoTV, DSTV, TVCABO, and ZAP), utilities bills like water (ADEM, FIPAG), electricity (EDM), purchase credit, Credelec, and more, all directly from their smartphones without needing a traditional bank account. These services are accessible nationwide.

Read the question and wait for the answer. If the interviewee indicates using M-Pesa and/or Mkesh, mark an X in box 01. Otherwise, mark box 02.

Q31. Did you work during the week of July 24 to 30?
Many interviewees tend to omit economic activities. For many people, working means being an employee at a recognized institution or company. Therefore, they might not consider family farming or small businesses as economic activities, and they might say they did not work during this period. In this case, you should ask additional questions to identify people who have engaged in any economic activity.

Work refers to any activity aimed at producing goods or services for either self-consumption or for sale. People can carry out economic activities in various ways: as employees, employers, self-employed workers, family workers, etc.

Consider as having worked anyone who, in addition to household chores, typically carries out other tasks, such as baking and selling cakes, sewing clothes, teaching students, farming, or any other paid work to improve family unit income.

Read the question and wait for the answer. If the answer is Yes, mark an X in box 01 and move on to Q34. Otherwise, mark box 02 and move on to question Q32.

Note: Avoid jumping to conclusions that housewives do not engage in any economic activities.
Here are a few questions that the enumerator should ask before selecting option 02 ("no"):
"Have you worked on the farm for at least 1 hour in the last 7 days?" "Have you done any trade or side job for at least 1 hour in the last 7 days?"

"Have you worked on any business or side job for a family member without compensation for at least 1 hour in the last 7 days?"

You should mark an X in box 02 only after the interviewee negatively answers all of these survey questions.

Q32. Why did you not work from July 24 to 30?

[p.59]

Only those people who, in the previous question (Q31), declared that they had not worked, should answer this question. Read the question and mark an X in the box corresponding to the answer given by the interviewee. If you mark box 01 or 02, move to Q34. If you select one of the alternatives between 04 and 09, move to Q38.

Consider that:

Q33. If the person was housewife/husband from July 24 to 30:
To people who declared themselves housewife/husband in Q32 (alternative 03), ask if, from July 24 to 30, they went to the depositors' farm. If Yes, mark an X in box 01. If they produced or sold products in the market or at home, such as: bread, tomatoes, onions, cakes, fish, fruit, etc., mark X in box 02. If they dedicated themselves to sewing, shoe repairing, tinsmithing, etc., to earn money, also select alternative 02. And for those who helped family members in their production or business, but without remuneration, mark X in box 03.

For people who really dedicated themselves exclusively to domestic tasks (taking care of children, and family members), mark X in box 04 and move to Q38.

Attention: Domestic employees (maids, cooks, babysitters, etc.) should not be considered as housewives/husbands. They should be classified as workers.

[p.61]

Q34. What was your main task (main occupation) in the week of July 24 to 30, or in the last time you worked?
Answer this question:

This question aims to know what is the main task/occupation that the person performs at
their workplace, regardless of the main economic activity carried out there.

For example, Mr. Carlos works at the Mozambique Water Company as a car electrician.
Write "car electrician".

Keep in mind that:

Therefore, if the person is President of the Republic, indicate that profession; if it is a driver of light passenger car, write "driver of light passenger cars", etc.

[A table containing correct and incorrect examples is omitted here]

[p.62]

Q35. Describe the main economic activity of your workplace.
[p.63]
This question aims to know the main type of economic activity (branch of activity) of the institution or place where the respondent works. Write the type of activity carried out and not the name of the institution or company.

Read the question and then write down the main economic activity of the company or institution, or the activity that the interviewee carries out on their own.

In the case of those who work in private residences (domestic workers), write employee in a house.

Note: For people who say they sell cakes at home (in Q33), write "sells cakes"; for people who say they sell coal at home (in Q34), write "sells coal"; for people who say they farm or practice agriculture (peasants) (in Q34), write "farming or cultivating the land".

Returning to the example of Mr. Carlos, whose profession is "Car Electrician" and as described in the Q34 instruction: the economic activity of the place where he works is "water distribution services", not car repair. This example is very important to understand the difference between profession/main occupation and branch of economic activity. In an economic activity, people can work in many professions which, at first glance, may not seem to be directly related to the economic activity of the company/establishment. If in the Mozambique Water Company there is a physician who gives consultations, full-time or as his main activity, to monitor the health of workers, his branch economic activity is also "water distribution services".

Keep in mind that: The people who in Q32 stated that were looking for a new job should indicate the economic activity of the place where they last worked.

Other examples of economic activity descriptions: Cement production, repair or manufacture of shoes, beer and Coca-Cola production, beverage sales, banking services, education - basic education, cultivation of corn, cotton, sorghum, orange, etc.

Q36. Are you a worker?

For example: a peasant who works on his farm without employees, a mechanic who works alone in his workshop without employees, etc. Mark X in box 09.

If the person is helped at work only by members of their family unit without any remuneration, they should still be considered as "self-employed without employees".

10. "Unpaid family worker": includes any person who is working for the family unit without receiving remuneration. Mark X in box 10.

Are examples of "unpaid family workers": the member of the family unit who helps a relative with work on the farm, workshop, etc., as long as they do not receive any remuneration as payment.

11. "International organizations/embassies": international organizations includes anyone who works for entities established through formal political agreements between their members, and which have the status of international works, their existence being recognized by law of their members.

[p.66]
number of days in the working week, to calculate the average number of daily hours you worked in the indicated week.

Note: When estimating the hours worked, take into account the time when the interviewee's working day normally begins and ends. Thus, the hours worked are the result of the difference between the start time and the end time of the activity during the day. However, if there are interruptions for lunch or rest, the duration of these interruptions should not be added to the hours worked.

Write the number of hours worked in the appropriate space, legibly.

Keep in mind that:

Only for individuals aged 12 year or more
[Question 38 is asked only of persons aged 12 years or older]

Q38. What is your marital status?
This question aims to know the marital status of people aged 12 or more. Record the marital status declared by the respondent and not what appears on the Identity Card.

[p.67]

Only for women aged 10 to 50
[Questions 39-42 are asked only of females aged 10 to 50 years old]

The questions that follow are sensitive. Try to obtain precise answers, formulating questions clearly and recording the answers correctly.

[p.68]

Q40. How many living children do you currently have?
Read the question, wait for the answer. This question is related to Q39. The enumerator should write the number of children of each gender who are still alive, out of the total she declared in Q39. Write down the declared number in the corresponding space. The total number of children declared in this question must not be greater than the total declared in Q39.
From the example in question Q39, if the woman says that of the 3 children born alive, 2 are currently alive, one male and the other female, fill in as follows:

Attention, enumerator: the interviewee should inform all currently living children, regardless of age and gender, whether or not they live with her

If the woman currently has no living children, check X in box 01. This question is filled in the same way as Q39.

[p.69]

Q41. How many children born alive you had in the last 12 months?
Read the question and wait for the answer. This question is also related to Q39. The respondent should inform, of the total number of children declared in Q39, how many were born in the last 12 months, that is, between August 1, 2016 and July 31, 2017. Write down the declared number in the corresponding space.

Remember:
- You should not include in this question children who were born after 12am on August 1, 2017.

Example:

Q42. Of the children born alive in the last 12 months, how many are currently alive?
Read the question and wait for the answer. This question is also related to Q41. The interviewee should inform, of the total number of children declared in Q41, how many are alive at the census moment. Write down the declared number in the corresponding space.

Keep in mind that:

03. Male 0 04. Female 1.

Section D: housing characteristics and conditions
This section should be answered by the head of the family unit or by the person identified to do so. If there is more than one accommodation unit within a family unit, the following questions should refer to the main unit.

A housing is considered to be any place intended for housing people, as long as it is being used for that purpose at the census moment.

For census purposes, two types of housing are considered: private and collective. People who are listed on the street or under bridges will be considered homeless.

If there is more than one housing unit in the same family unit, fill in questions D1 to D13 only for the primary housing unit.

D1. Type of housing
Observe the housing and classify it correctly. If you have questions, ask the interviewee.
Remember that there can only be one answer. The family unit either lives in a private or a collective housing, or is homeless, if they are listed on the street, under bridges, etc.

Private housing units are those that serve as accommodation for family units and can be: a conventional house with bathroom and kitchen inside; conventional house with bathroom or kitchen inside; flat/apartment; hut; improvised house (shacks, house built of tin, cardboard, tents, etc.); mixed house; basic house (detached rooms without bathroom or kitchen); part of a commercial building; and others.

In institutional establishments, such as schools, prisons, barracks, hotels, etc., independent housing occupied by employees should be considered as private housing.

[p.72]

Keep in mind the following definitions of private housing:

Note: If you find several semi-detached rooms (rooms without bathroom or kitchen), as shown in figure 9, and there is a family unit in each of them, collect the characteristics and housing conditions of each unit.

[p.73]
Each room (without bathroom or kitchen) may have different characteristics, regarding the type of construction material. For example, one of the rooms may have different flooring and ceiling than the rest.

[Figures of house types are omitted here]

[p.74]

[Figures of house types on this page are omitted here]

Section F: Agricultural and fishing activity
The aim of this section is to get to know some general aspects of the agricultural activity carried out by the family unit. It also aims to gather information on the ownership of fields, their location, types of crops, animal ownership, among other aspects. The results will serve as a basis for carrying out the Agricultural and Livestock Census.

The questions in this section should be asked for all family units living in rural and urban areas.

F1. The family unit has any farms?
Read the question and write down the answer. This question refers to the ownership of farms by the family unit or by its members on their own. If one or more members of the family unit have a farm, mark X in box 01 and continue with the next question. Otherwise, mark X in box 02 and move to question F3.

Exclude family unit members who are carrying out agricultural activities on behalf of others, for example, on the farm of a company or owned by a private person.

Farm: refers to a plot of land separated from others by natural (rivers) or artificial borders (roads, paths, hedges, demarcation with other farms, etc.) that is intended for agricultural production. Backyards with crops are not included in this question.

F2. Where is the main farm located?
Read the question and write down the answer. Register the province and district where the farm is located, according to the interviewee's answer. Describing the location of the field is important to help correctly identify it, especially when it is necessary to measure it later.

Keep in mind that:

F3. How many of these animals does the family unit has?
This question is addressed to all family units and aims to know the type and quantity of animals owned by the family unit.

Read each type of animal out loud, and record the number corresponding to the answer. Add the number of males and females, including any offsprings for each type of animal, if the respondent provides separate numbers.

If the family unit has animals, but the interviewee does not know how many, record the number "99998" in the space reserved for the type of animal. If the family unit does not have animals, leave the respective space blank. And if they do not own any of the animals listed in the form, mark X in box 07 "None" and move on to question F5.

F4. Where are most of these animals located?
The family units that declared owning animals in F3 should answer this question. With this question, we aim to identify the correct location of these animals. Read the question and write down the answer. The province and district where most of these animals are found should be recorded, according to the interviewee's response.

Keep in mind that:

F5. How many fruit trees the family unit has?
This question aims to know whether the family unit has fruit trees and/or fruit-bearing
plants, namely the number of cashew, coconut and other fruit trees or fruit-bearing plants.

[p.92]

Fruit tree: a woody plant (stem) that bears fruit (e.g.: cashew tree, coconut tree, orange tree, lemon tree, avocado tree, etc.)

Fruit-bearing plant: a plant without woody structure (stem) that bears fruit (e.g.: pineapple, vine, strawberry, etc.)

If the family unit has fruit trees and/or fruit-bearing plants, write the respective number in the reserved space and with legible numbers. For example, if the family unit has 56 coconut trees, fill in the squares number 02 like this: 0 0 5 6

F6. Does the family unit has aquaculture tanks?
When asking this question, the enumerator should explain to the head of the family unit or its representative what an aquaculture tank is. If the family unit owns aquaculture tanks, please mark X in box 01 and enter the number of tanks in the space provided, using legible numbers, and continue with the next question. Otherwise, mark X in box 02 and continue with the next question.

Aquaculture tanks : tanks built on the ground that can be lined with cement/concrete or not, and which construction follows specific usage techniques. These tanks are intended for fish farming.

F7. Does the family unit practice traditional fishing?
This question aims to know whether the family unit practices traditional fishing. If the family unit practices traditional fishing, mark X in box 01. Otherwise, mark X in box 02.

Section G: Mortality
This section aims to understand the structure and level of mortality by gender and age. Mortality is one of the important indicators for measuring the health status of the population and the level of development of a country. Therefore, it is important to correctly collect information on deaths occurred in the family unit during the indicated period.

Remember that it is very delicate and sensitive to talk about deaths. Try to be delicate and careful when asking the following questions.

[p.93]

G1. Has anyone in this family unit died in the last 12 months? (August 1, 2016 to July 31, 2017)?
This question aims to know whether anyone in the family unit has died in the last 12 months.

Always be careful not to omit any deceased people, especially newborn children.

To be sure, ask if, during that period, no newborns or babies died.

In this question, only the deaths of people who were members of the family unit at the time of death and who lost their lives in the last 12 months (from 1 August 2016 to 31 July 2017) should be included, regardless of the place of death.

Who should be listed as a death in the family unit:

Who should not be listed as a death in the family unit:

Mark X in box 01 if the family unit members declared that a member of the family unit died in the last 12 months and collect information about the deceased person. Otherwise, if no one in the family unit died in the last 12 months, mark X in box 02 and end the interview.

If in G1 you marked X in box 01, specify:

[ The example for filling out Section G is omitted here]

Death during childbirth: death of a woman during childbirth, that is, at the moment she was giving birth.

Death two months after the end of pregnancy or childbirth: death of a woman within two months after the end of pregnancy or childbirth.

Institutional household form
Use an Institutional Household Form for each residence. Up to 227 people can be registered in a single form. If there are more than 227 non-resident people present in the institutional household, use the necessary additional sheets until the residence census is completed.

For those residing in institutional household, complete the Family Unit Form.

Section A: Geographic location of the institutional household
As already mentioned, this section must be completed by the enumerator before beginning fieldwork. All forms should contain codes for the place where the census is being conducted (Section A of the form).

[p.97]

Filling in the geographic location of the housing is similar to that on the family unit report (see the image above). The codes of the province, district, administrative post, locality, neighborhood/village, enumeration area, town/communal unit/block and zone/block are available on the sketch. Transcribe them to the forms.

Number of the institutional household
