Abstract
The FinScope Zambia 2015 was implemented with the following objectives:

To track overall trends in financial inclusion over time in terms of:

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
Much like the preceding FinScope surveys the one conducted in 2015 used a complex sample survey design with multi-stage cluster sampling. Unlike in previous FinScope surveys, however, the sample was drawn from the frame generated by the 2010 population census and not the 2000 census. Stratification was done at the province and urban/rural levels before cluster sampling was performed using enumerator areas as PSUs. 866 EAs were selected with probability proportional to size. Within each EA, 10 households were randomly selected. In the third stage, one eligible (aged 16 and above) member of the household was randomly selected using a Kish grid.

Data Collection Notes
Data collection was conducted by 150 Ipsos enumerators over a two-month period during February/March 2015. A total sample of 8,570 interviews was achieved representing a 99.0 percent response rate.

Interviews were conducted face-to-face. Interview data was captured electronically (using mobile phones) during the interview. After completion of an interview the data was immediately uploaded onto the Ipsos server by means of the mobile network. If the network was not available at the time of completion of the interview, the data was stored on the mobile device until the network could be accessed. Once the network was accessed data that was saved on the device was uploaded to the server.

Attempts were made during fieldwork to impose ongoing quality control measures.
