Simplified sampling method for household-based surveys with reduced populations in the water and sanitation sector

In order to make decisions efficiently and equitably, up-to-date information is required. In developing countries, with limited resources, such information should be provided by means of cost-effective methodologies, in which sampling issues are of primary importance.
