Fertility and child survival
29. How many children have been born alive by [the respondent] since Independence Day 2010?
Questions A30-A31 are only asked of females aged 12 to 49 years old. For others, enter a dash in these columns. The enumerator should always check at all times that the number of children in A26 should be equal to the sum of this in A27, A28, and A29. The enumerator should therefore always crosscheck that these balances before moving on to the next section.
The relevant portion of the sample questionnaire is shown on page 61 for easy reference.
