SAMPLE DESIGN Appendix B SAMPLE DESIGN Appendix B The major objective of the 2005 Egypt Demographic and Health Survey sample design was to provide estimates with acceptable precision for key population and health indicators for the country as a whole and for six major subdivisions (Urban Governorates, urban Lower Egypt, rural Lower Egypt, urban Upper Egypt, rural Upper Egypt and the Frontier Governorates1). In addition, the sample was planned to allow for separate estimates of key indicators for seven governorates that are focal governorates for USAID-supported population, health and nutrition programs (Fayoum, Beni Suef, Menya, Qena, and Aswan in Upper Egypt and Cairo and Alexandria). In addition, with the exception of the Frontier Governorates, the sample included a sufficient number of households in most other governorates to allow for governorate-level estimates of major variables, with the exception of fertility and mortality rates and anemia levels. To achieve the above objectives, a three stage probability sample was designed. The following is a detailed description of the 2000 EDHS sample design. A description of the field activities involved in the implementation of the sample design is included in Chapter 1 of this report. B.1 SAMPLE DESIGN The main concern in developing the sample design for the 2005 EDHS was to secure a sufficient number of cases in each domain in order to reduce sampling error and provide estimates of adequate precision for the purposes of the survey. Sampling error has two components, one corresponding to the variation between primary sampling units (PSUs) and the other to the variation within PSUs, with the major component usually being the variation between PSUs. Thus, the total number of PSUs is an important factor in controlling the size of the sampling error since the variation between PSUs depends on this number, i.e., generally the smaller the number of PSUs, the greater will be the variation. Standard DHS sampling policy recommends a minimum of 1,000-1,200 women per major domain. As noted above, however, the 2005 EDHS sample had to be selected in such fashion as to also allow for estimation of contraceptive prevalence rates and other basic health indicators for 21 separate governorates. DHS sampling policy recommends that a minimum of 450 completed interviews with eligible women be obtained to provide reliable estimates for these types of variables. This principle was used in determining the size and distribution of the target sample for the 2005 EDHS presented in Table B.1. 1 The Frontier Governorates were not included in 1988 and 1992 DHS surveys nor in the 1997, 1998 and 2003 interim surveys. However, they were part of the 1995 and 2000 EDHS samples. The inclusion of the Frontier Governorates in the 2005 EDHS will not affect comparisons of the 2005 results with the results of earlier surveys in which these governorates were not part of the samples since only around one percent of the Egyptian population resides in the Frontier Governorates.

B.2 SAMPLE FRAME The sample for the 2005 EDHS was selected in three stages. A list of shiakhas/towns constituted the primary sampling frame for urban areas, and a list of villages served as the frame for rural areas. The Central Agency of Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) updated these lists, which had been originally prepared for the 1996 census, to reflect the situation in 2004. 250 | Appendix B B.3 SAMPLE SELECTION In order to provide for implicit geographic stratification, the lists of shiakhas/towns and villages in each governorate were arranged in serpentine order according to their location from north to south within the governorate. During the first stage selection, a total of 682 primary sampling units (289 shiakhas/towns and 393 villages) were chosen for the 2005 EDHS sample. A list of the PSUs selected during the first stage of the sampling for the 2005 EDHS is provided below. The second stage of selection in the 2005 EDHS involved several steps. First, for each of the primary sampling units (PSU), maps were obtained and divided into a number of parts of roughly equal size (assuming approximately 5000 persons per part). In large shiakhas/towns or villages (approximately 20,000 and more population), two parts were selected from each PSU. In the remaining smaller shiakhas/towns and villages, one part was selected. A quick count was carried out in the selected parts in each PSU to provide the information needed to divide the parts into a number of segments of roughly equal size. After the quick count was completed, two segments were then selected from each PSU. In large shiakhas/towns and villages where there were two parts, one segment was chosen from each part. In small shiakhas/towns and villages where only one part had been selected, two segments were chosen from that part. A household listing was obtained for each segment. Using the household lists, a systematic sample of 22,807 households was chosen for the 2005 EDHS. All ever-married women 15-49 who were present in the sampled households on the night before the interview were eligible for the survey. A subsample of one-third of all households in each segment was selected for the anemia-testing component. In this subsample, information on anemia levels was collected for all eligible women, children under age 6, and youth and young adults age 10-19. One woman in each household in the subsample in which anemia testing was carried out was selected to be asked questions about domestic violence. B.4 SAMPLE IMPLEMENTATION Results of the sample implementation are presented in Table B.2. The results indicate that households were selected for the 2000 EDHS sample. The EDHS field staff successfully interviewed 22,807 of the sample households, for a response rate of 98.9 percent. In the interviewed households, 19,565 eligible women were interviewed with a response rate 99.5 percent. This gives an overall response rate of 98.5 percent.

  • A Window Into Paleocene to Early Eocene Depositional History in Egypt Basedoncoccolithstratigraphy
    The Dababiya Core: A window into Paleocene to Early Eocene depositional history in Egypt basedoncoccolithstratigraphy Marie-Pierre Aubry1 and Rehab Salem1,2 1Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Rutgers University, 610 Taylor Road, NJ 08854-8066, USA email: [email protected] 2Geology Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, 31527, Tanta, Egypt [email protected] ABSTRACT: The composite Paleocene-lower Eocene Dababiya section recovered in the Dababiya Quarry core and accessible in out- crop in the Dababiya Quarry exhibits an unexpected contrast in thickness between the Lower Eocene succession (~Esna Shales) and the Paleocene one (~Dakhla Shales and Tarawan Chalk). We investigate the significance of this contrast by reviewing calcareous nannofossil stratigraphic studies performed on sections throughout Egypt. We show that a regional pattern occurs, and distinguish six areas—Nile Valley, Eastern Desert and western Sinai, Central and eastern Sinai, northern Egypt and Western Desert. Based on patterns related to thicknesses of selected lithobiostratigraphic intervals and distribution of main stratigraphic gaps, we propose that the differences in the stratigraphic architecture between these regions result from differential latest Paleocene and Early Eocene subsidence following intense Middle to Late Paleocene tectonic activity in the Syrian Arc folds as a result of the closure of the Neo-Tethys. INTRODUCTION view of coccolithophore studies in Egypt since their inception During the Late Cretaceous and Early Paleogene Egypt was (1968).

Photo credit: Tinne Van Loon for USAID Photo Essay: USAID’s 40-Year Legacy in Water and Wastewater Meets the Needs of Egypt’s Growing Population June 13, 2017 gypt today is a country in transition. With one of the fastest growing populations Ein the world — estimates suggest that the population will increase from 93 to 120 million people by 2030 — Egypt’s infrastructure needs to keep pace. In both urban and rural areas, population growth has led to an expansion of settle- ments that strain current water and wastewater systems. Often, settlements are built over the heavily polluted, unsanitary waterways, posing a public health threat by carrying the risk of waterborne disease. For more information, please visit Globalwaters.org. 1 A man turns on the new faucet in his home in Upper Egypt. Photo credit: Mohamed Abdel- wahab for USAID Since 1978, USAID invested more than $3.5 billion to help bring potable water and sanitation services to more than 25 million Egyptians, directly improving their health and environmental conditions. The Egypt Utilities Management (EUM) program has been a key contributor to this legacy; this $440 million investment by the American people over ten years has led to an increased quality of life for 10.5 million Egyptians.

  • Detecting Methods of Ground Water Storage Changes from the Different Date Sources in Kafr
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 9, September-2019 1735 ISSN 2229-5518 Detecting Methods of Ground Water Storage Changes from the Different Date Sources in Kafr Elsheikh Governorate, Egypt. Mahmoud El-Mewafi, Fawzi Hamid Fawzi Zarzoura and Heba Basyouni Ibrahim* ABSTRACT- Gravity monitoring is used to detect the groundwater storage changes, over traditional techniques that are very costly and require strong workers, which are very difficult. The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) measures Terrestrial Water Storage (ΔTWS) for a regional area, it is the total mass of water found in the soil column (such as, surface water, soil moisture, snow, and groundwater). In this study, Grace Data was used to calculate the changes in groundwater storage (ΔGWS) in both 2005 and 2010 in Kafr El-Sheikh, Desouk and fwa by selecting four random points in each of them and calculating the terrestrial water storage from GRACE, though global land date assimilations systems (GLDAS) soil moisture was calculated and subtracted from the terrestrial Water Storage to calculate the groundwater. In this study, data on the changes in groundwater reserves were obtained by contour maps and thus the data obtained from GRACE were verified by comparing them where the maximum values and the lowest values of the differences respectively are 20.76 and -3.68 mm. Index Terms GRACE, Gravity, Traditional, GLDAS, Soil moisture, Storage —————————— —————————— 1. INTRODUCTION Ater is considered an important resource in Egypt for many From the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) water users. The next fight will be on water because of the mission {2}.
