Sampling
The sample design employs a design stratified by locations and type. To obtain a sampling frame, enumerators were requested to list at least 100 grain traders from each of the 14 locations using snowball listing, although in some locations this number was less due to issues of insecurity or lack of traders. Traders were approached and listed through referrals from the previous grain trader. The listed grain traders were then divided into two additional strata for each location strata into those who trade only locally and those who don't. For each location, 50 traders were then randomly selected to be interviewed.
Traders were replaced if security rendered field work unfeasible. Replacements were approved by the project manager. Replacement of traders were approved by the supervisor after a total of three unsuccessful visits to the trader's shop. Additionally, in cases where less than 50 traders were listed (2 locations), enumerators used snowball sampling to interview 50 traders per location.
The sampling weight is the inverse probability of selection. The probability of selection of a trader in this case is one over the total number of traders listed in the particular stratum. Inversing this weight therefore results in the actual number of traders listed per stratum.

- Module 1: Introduction
- Module 2: Basic trader information
- Module A: Transport barriers
- Module B: Storage
- Module C: Financial access
- Module D: Information access
- Module E: End of interview
- Module F: Enumerator feedback
