8. Place of birth (district [cercle] or country)____
8. Column P8: Place of birth, district or country
This question aims at recording the place of birth of household members. For this, the census enumerator will ask a question to the household head, such: "Where was name born?"
[Page 26]
a) The census enumerator will write down the name of the province of birth, if the person was born in Mali. But, be careful: when a respondent give you as place of birth the name of a village or town, make sure to first find out the administrative province in Mali to which this place belongs, before writing the answer.
N.B.: If the person ignores the province, and if you cannot find it by yourself, write down the name of the region.
b) When the person is born abroad, that is outside of Mali, write down the name of the country of birth (Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, France, etc.).
Practical example:
Mamadou Diarra was born in the village of Toyoge - district of Taga - Province of Djenne - Region of Mopti. The place of birth will be "Djenne", and will be written in Column P8.
Instruction: Do not fill in the shaded boxes (reserved for codification)
In cases where the agent does not know the name of the circle of birth of the respondent, he can ask his team leader or his team.
If the place of birth coincides with the main regional location, the agent records: C / "name of circle" to designate the circle of birth. If the circle of birth is not known, the agent records R / "name of region" to designate the region of birth. This instruction is valid for P13 and P15 columns.
[pg. 24]
If the place of birth is the district of Bamako, the agent writes the name of the municipality (eg CI for Commune I and CII for Commune II, etc).
