Description
The 2006 UDHS was the fourth in the series that started in 1988. The primary objective of this survey was to provide up-to-date information for policy makers, planners, researchers and program managers, to use in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of population and health programs in the country. Unlike the previous three surveys which did not cover the whole country because of insecurity in some areas, the UDHS 2006 covered all districts of the country. In addition, the content of the survey was expanded to include questions on disability and gender-related violence.
