The first survey, which aimed to identify and describe the pastoralist population, gathered information on 112,957 households in Mongolia, from different aimags.
With regard to the second survey, 1,938 pastoralist households from the 18 aimags were targeted, based on statistical requirements, as advised by CIRAD. To select the sample households, the NFPUG used maps created from the Global Positioning System (GPS) data collected through the first survey. The sample was made up of four different groups/types of households, based on their animal numbers. This survey involved a smaller number of collectors, only the aimag and sum leaders were involved, and the former gave paper-based questionnaires to the latter, to gather data from after the completed interviews and enter into the Open Foris Collect server. Each collector interviewed 10-15 households, and no more than one per day in areas such as the Gobi Desert, where households lived far apart.
For the first survey, out of the 159,219 targeted households at the beginning, 112,957 interviews were completed.
Sample weights were calculated for each of the data files.
The survey was conducted in 2 rounds. For the first round, a short questionnaire was submitted to a representative of each household, addressing the following topics:
i) households' socio-demographic characteristics;
ii) livestock numbers and ownership;
iii) land tenure and access; and
iv) water access and use.
For the second round, the questionnaire focussed on the economic activity of pastoralists and their contribution to the national GDP. It covers the following topics:
i) household identification
ii) socio-demographic characteristics
iii) livestock herd composition
iv) products and final destination
v) agricultural production, fishing and hunting activity
vi) income and sales
vii) household expenses
viii) shock and adaptation strategies.

The surveys were conducted by the pastoralist organizations themselves. Each of them relied on a highly variable number of enumerators (from 10 to more than one thousand), and on one or more supervisors validating the collected data. The enumerators were selected by the organizations based on their information technology (IT) skills, level of education, availability, interest, knowledge of the local pastoral communities, and relevant experiences and skills, including language and communication skills.

For the first survey, the Mongolian NFPUG targeted 159,219 pastoralist households living in the different aimags (See Table 3 in the attached reports for information on the different aimags covered). Given the large number of interviews to be conducted, the Federation printed out the questionnaires and distributed them to the Aimag Federation of Pasture User Groups (AFED). The executive directors of each AFED trained and provided the heads of the sum-level associations of Pasture User Groups (PUG) with the paper-based questionnaires, and they, in turn, did the same with the PUG leaders. Given that the PUG leaders could only conduct the survey in their own PUG, the NFPUG collaborated with the MOFALI in order to conduct the survey also in areas not covered by the Federation. The MOFALI sent official letters to each aimag to invite the local representatives and the land managers to collaborate in the project. In total, around 1,200 data collectors were involved in the process, more than one thousand from the NFPUG, covering 50 percent of the national territory, and more than one hundred covering 30 percent of the territory. Out of the 159,476 targeted households at the beginning, 112,957 interviews were completed.
