179. Columns E1-E7: Agriculture and land acquisition, and household cash activities, ICT equipment, and internet access

For some of the questions in this section, you may circle more than one code, if more than one response applies, i.e. for those whose codes are multiples of 2.

These questions relate only to members of the household - i.e. those listed in columns A1 and B1 but excluding any visitors listed in A1. Include also household members who normally would have spent the census night with the household but who were temporarily elsewhere in Botswana. For example, the usual head of household could be away on business during the census period, but he/she might be the only income earner for the household. Since he/she was not present in the household during the census, his/her employment would not be recorded in Part A and it would appear that the household had no source of income. However, the fact that the household receives income from his/her employment will be recorded in E5, E6 and E7.
Note that questions in Part E of the questionnaire relate only to activities within Botswana. For example, if a household member who is temporarily living in another country (and is therefore listed in Part B), has planted maize outside Botswana, that agricultural activity will not be recorded in column E2. If the same person owns cattle inside Botswana, then that ownership will be recorded in column E1.

The relevant portion of the sample questionnaire is shown on page 80.

185. Column E6: Since Independence Day 2010, did household members receive cash from: Household based activities
Q. Sale of homemade produce?
At least one member of the household may have earned cash from the sale of one of the following items:

The respondent must be asked if any member of the household sold any of the above, by reading them out to the respondent one by one and circling the codes where the respondent answers "yes". If the household sold other items not listed above, or if any household member earned cash from running a general trading store or from hawking a variety of goods or from similar trading activities, and then write the income source on the space below the codes or in the comments box.
