Lao - Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey - 2017

Publication date: 2017

1 II The Lao Social Indicator Survey II (LSIS II) was carried out in 2017 by Lao Statistics Bureau (LSB) in collaboration with Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education and Sport, as part of the Global Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) Programme. Technical support was provided by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), with government funding and financial support of UNICEF and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), European Union (EU), Luxembourg Government, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC), World Food Programme (WFP), and United Nations Development Programmes (UNDP), World Health Organisation (WHO) and Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA). USAID provided technical support for the data collection and analysis on anaemia. The Global MICS Programme was developed by UNICEF in the 1990s as an international multi-purpose household survey programme to support countries in collecting internationally comparable data on a wide range of indicators on the situation of children and women. MICS surveys measure key indicators that allow countries to generate data for use in policies, programmes, and national development plans, and to monitor progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other internationally agreed upon commitments. The LSIS II presents up-to date information for assessing the situation of children, women and men as well as to provide data for monitoring progress towards existing strategies and action plans including the 8th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP) 2016-2020, update the status of the provincial social development indicators and track the graduation of the country from the category of Least Developed Country by 2020. The objective of this report is to facilitate the timely dissemination and use of results from the LSIS II. The report contains detailed information on the methodology of the survey, and tables following MICS standard and templates.

It aims to generate data at provincial level disaggregated by age, residence, sex, wealth quantile and ethnic groups. LSIS II followed the Sixth global round of the Multiple Cluster Indicator Survey programme (MICS6) platform and modules focusing to generate the new data requirements of the SDGs. LSIS II includes 6 questionnaires: 1 for household including salt testing; 1 for women 15-49 years of age; 1 for men 15-49 years of age; 1 for children 5-17 years of age; 1 for children under five (administered to their mothers or care takers) including anthropometry; and 1 for water quality testing of source and household drinking water. The specific add-on questionnaires of abortion have been included in the women questionnaires as well as anemia testing for children 6 to 59 months and women 15-49 years. LSIS II provides up-to-date information needed for the selection of data on key social development indicators to monitor the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) especially key inputs for the ongoing Voluntary National Report on SDG, 2018. This will provide a baseline for the 8th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP) and provincial development plans including the inputs for upcoming Mid-Term Review of the 8th NSEDP, and support the country’s graduation from Least Developed Country by 2020. On this occasion, on behalf of the Lao Government and, in particular, the Steering Committee, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all government agencies, international organizations for their valuable support to the conduct of the LSIS II. We hope this report will serve as a useful source of information and data for evidence based planning policies, decision-making and in-depth research and also hope that it will be contribution of ideas and suggestion of feedback to further improve in the next survey and to provide appropriate needs of orientations for decision making and policy planning and to serve for user’s need of using data both inside and outside of the country. ______________________ Dr. Samaychan Boupha Vice Minister, Head of Lao Statistics Bureau Ministry of Planning and Investment Acknowledgements On behalf of the Steering Committee of the survey, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to all organizations and individuals who have contributed to making this survey a success, especially the Lao Statistics Bureau, Ministry of Planning and Investment, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education and Sports for leading and implementing the entire survey.

Introduction 1.1 Background The Lao Social Indicator Survey (LSIS) II provides a set of single national figure on social indicators. It combines the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) and the Demographic and Health Survey modules to maximise government resources for a nationally representative sample survey. LSIS II follows the first LSIS I survey which was carried out in 2011-12 jointly by the Ministry of Health (MoH) and the Lao Statistics Bureau (LSB) of the Ministry of Planning and Investment in collaboration with other line ministries. The LSIS I provided baseline data for the 7th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP) and the Millennium Development Goals. 1.2 Survey Objectives The LSISII 2017 of Lao PDR has as its primary objectives: • To provide up-to-date information that will assist with the selection of data on key social development indicators to support the monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); • To establish a baseline for national development plans and priorities including the 8th National Socio- Economic Development Plan (NSEDP), provincial core social development indicators data, as well as supporting the data for Least Developed Country Graduation; • To produce a range of population and social indicators that are statistically sound and based on internationally comparable methodology and best practices; and • To continue reinforcing coordination mechanisms on supporting and strengthening social statistics in Lao PDR and making use of its findings to formulate and advocate for policies, programme formulation and monitoring. The financial and technical support for LSIS II was provided by the Government of Lao PDR, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Global MICS Team, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), European Union (EU), Luxembourg Government, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Swiss Development Cooperation (SDC), World Food Programme (WFP), World Health Organization (WHO) and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). This report presents the results on all of the indicators and topics covered in the survey. 2 3 2 SURVEY METHODOLOGY This chapter provides a brief description of the survey methodology. It provides information on the sample design and other steps of the survey implementation from questionnaires, ethical protocol, data processing, training, fieldwork implementation, data quality measures, analysis and data sharing. How to read tables The tables in this report present data collected through the LSIS II, 2017, intuitively easy to understand. However, the reader should be aware of the following: Values in parenthesis indicate that the percentage or proportion is based on 25–49 unweighted cases and should be treated with caution. An asterisk in table cells indicate that the percentage or proportion has been suppressed because it is based on fewer than 25 unweighted cases while a dash denotes shown no unweighted cases. 2.1 SAMPLE DESIGN The sample for the Lao Social Indicator Survey, 2017 was designed to provide estimates for a large number of indicators on the situation of children and women at the national level, for urban and rural areas, including rural with roads and rural without roads, for three regions including: North, Central and South and 18 provinces including: Vientiane Capital, Phongsaly, Luangnamtha, Oudomxay, Bokeo, Luangprabang, Huaphanh, Xayabury, Xiengkhuang, Vientinae, Borikhamxay, Khammuane, Savannakhet, Saravane, Sekong, Champasack, Attapeu and Xaysomboun . The urban and rural areas within each province were identified as the main sampling strata and the sample of households was selected in two stages. Within each stratum, a specified number of census enumeration areas were selected systematically with probability proportional to size. After a household listing was carried out within the selected enumeration areas, a systematic sample of 20 households was drawn from each sample enumeration area. Five out of the 1,170 selected enumeration areas were not visited because of the reasons listed below: - Clusters inaccessible due to extremely poor road conditions requiring long time for travel; - After the listing exercise, households moved out due to infrastructure development project; - Merging of village to neighbouring villages during the fieldwork period. The LSIS II sample is not self-weighting and for reporting survey results, sample weights are used. A more detailed description of the sample design and computation of sample weights can be found in Appendix A: Sample Design. 2.2 QUESTIONNAIRES Six questionnaires were used in the survey: 1) a household questionnaire which was used to collect basic demographic information on all de jure household members (usual residents), the household, and the dwelling; 2) a water quality testing questionnaire administered in three households in each cluster of the sample; 3) a questionnaire for individual women administered in each household to all women age 15-49 years; 4) a questionnaire for individual men administered in every second household to all men age 15-49 years; 5) an under-5 questionnaire, administered to mothers (or caretakers) of all children under 5 living in the household; and 6) a questionnaire for children age 5-17 years, administered to the mother (or caretaker) of one randomly selected child age 5-17 years living in the household. Questionnaires to capture anthropometry measurements among children under 5 years and to record anaemia test results for children under 5 years and women age 15-19 years also form part of the LSIS II questionnaires. The LSIS II 2017 included the following modules: 2 4 The LSIS II questionnaires were based on the MICS6 model questionnaire1. From the MICS6 model English version, the questionnaires were customised and translated into Lao language and were pre-tested in Vientiane Capital and Vientiane Province. Based on the results of the pre-test, modifications were made to the wording and translation of the questionnaires. A copy of the LSIS II, 2017 questionnaires is provided in Appendix E. In addition to the administration of questionnaires, fieldwork teams tested the salt used for cooking in the households for iodine content, observed the place for handwashing, and measured the weights and heights of children age under 5 years, as well as tested household and source water for E. coli levels. A separate test for Anaemia levels was performed for children age 6-59 months and women age 15-49 years in every second household. Details and findings of these observations and measurements are provided in the respective sections of this report. 2.3 ETHICAL PROTOCOL The survey protocol was approved by Lao Statistics Bureau (LSB) in May 2016. The protocol included a Protection Protocol which outlines the potential risks during the life cycle of the survey and management strategies to mitigate these. Verbal consent was obtained for each respondent participating and, for children age 15-17 years individually interviewed, adult consent was obtained in advance of the child’s assent. All respondents were informed of the voluntary nature of participation and the confidentiality and anonymity of information. Additionally, respondents were informed of their right to refuse answering all or particular questions, as well as to stop the interview at any time. Additionally, the adult consent for Anaemia testing was obtained for children under 5 years. An Anaemia brochure was compiled in advance which was distributed to the participants during the fieldwork. The results of Anaemia test were 1 The model MICS6 questionnaires can be found at http://mics.unicef.org/tools#survey-design.

In cases of severe levels of deficiencies identified (less than 7.0 g/dl), a letter for referral to medical facility was issued. 2.4 DATA COLLECTION METHOD MICS surveys utilise Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). The data collection application was based on the CSPro (Census and Survey Processing System) software, Version 6.3, including a MICS dedicated data management platform. Procedures and standard programs2 developed under the global MICS programme and adapted to the LSIS II, 2017 questionnaire were used throughout. The CAPI application was tested in Vientiane Capital and Vientiane Province. Based on the results of the CAPI-test, modifications were made to the questionnaires and application. 2.5 TRAINING Training for the fieldwork was conducted for 31 days during June and July, 2017. Training included lectures on interviewing techniques and the contents of the questionnaires, and mock interviews between trainees to gain practice in asking questions. Participants were trained to collecting data using paper questionnaires as well as tablets/CAPI application. The trainees spent three days in field practise and one day on a full pilot survey in Vientiane province. The standard MICS training agenda was customized for LSIS II training.3 Measurers received dedicated training on anthropometric measurements and water quality testing for a total of 9 days, including three days in field practise and pilot survey. Field Supervisors attended additional training on the duties of team supervision and responsibilities. 2.6 FIELDWORK The data were collected by 25 teams; each was comprised of four interviewers, one driver, two measurers and a supervisor. Fieldwork began in July, 2017 and concluded in November, 2017. Data was collected using tablet computers running the Windows 10 operating system, utilising a Bluetooth data transfer application for field operations, enabling transfer of assignments and completed questionnaires between supervisor’s and interviewer’s tablets. 2.7 FIELDWORK QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES Team supervisors were responsible for daily monitoring of the fieldwork. Forced re-interviewing was implemented on one randomly selected household per cluster. Daily observations of interviewer skills and performance was conducted. During the fieldwork period, each team was visited multiple times by survey management team members and field visits were arranged for UNICEF MICS Team members. The Field check tables (FCTs) were being produced for analysis and action with field teams.4 2.8 DATA MANAGEMENT, EDITING AND ANALYSIS Data were received at the LSB via Internet File Streaming System (IFSS) integrated into the management application on the supervisors’ tablets. The central office communicated application updates through this system to field teams. 2 The standard MICS6 data collection application can be found at http://mics.unicef.org/tools#data-processing. 3 The template training agenda can be found at http://mics.unicef.org/tools#survey-design. 4 The standard field check tables can be found at http://mics.unicef.org/tools#data-collection 2 6 During data collection and following completion of fieldwork, data were edited according to editing process described in detail in the Guidelines for Secondary Editing, a customised version of the standard MICS6 documentation.5 Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software, Version 23. Model syntax and tabulation plans developed by UNICEF were customized and used for this purpose.6 2.9 DATA SHARING Unique identifiers such as location and names collected during interviews were removed from datasets to ensure privacy. These anonymised data files are made available on the MICS website7 and can be freely downloaded for legitimate research purposes.

Bureau, which was implemented based on the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 6 (MICS6) platform. The survey provides statistically sound and internationally comparable data essential for developing evidence-based policies and programmes, and monitoring progress toward the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The LSIS II intends to support the generation of high quality data on children, women and men, contributing to improved programme quality and accountability of duty bearers and right holders. The findings of the survey are an important source of information for monitoring the implementation of the 8th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP). They will be extremely useful for the upcoming Mid Term Review, and to support the monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Voluntary National Review. Moreover, the survey findings will serve to supplement available administrative data and official statistics. Lao PDR’s localization of the SDGs from early 2016 laid a firm base for this Voluntary National Review (VNR). Lao PDR was among the first countries in the world to conduct the localization exercise and integrate SDGs into national planning. Lao PDR’s national planning process converged with the SDG launch, providing the opportunity to integrate the SDGs into the Eighth National Socio-Economic Development Plan (NSEDP) 2016-20. By September 2017, the Government, supported by development partners, had developed a provisional list of SDG indicators adapted to Lao PDR’s context, and in the process, identified key issues in moving forward with SDGs. Many of these indicators are expecting to fulfill by the Lao Social Indicator Survey II. 4.1 RESULTS OF INTERVIEWS Of the 23,299 households selected for the sample, 22,443 were found to be occupied. Of these, 22,287 were successfully interviewed for a household response rate of 99 percent. The Water Quality Testing Questionnaire was administered to 3,495 randomly selected households, three from each cluster. Of these, 3,346 were successfully tested for household drinking water yielding a response rate of 96 percent. Also, 3,292 were successfully tested for source drinking water quality yielding a response rate of 94 percent. In the interviewed households, 26,103 women (age 15-49 years) were identified. Of these, 25,305 were successfully interviewed, yielding a response rate of 97 percent within the interviewed households. The survey also sampled men (age 15-49), but required only a subsample. All men (age 15-49) were identified in every other household. 12,694 men (age 15-49 years) were listed in the household questionnaires. Questionnaires were completed for 12,017 eligible men, which corresponds to a response rate of 95 percent within eligible interviewed households. There were 11,812 children under age five listed in the household questionnaires. Questionnaires were completed for 11,720 of these children, which corresponds to a response rate of 99 percent within interviewed households. A sub-sample of children 5-17 years was used to administer the questionnaire for children of 5-17 years. Only one child has been selected randomly in each household interviewed, and there were 31,339 children (5-17 years) listed in the household questionnaires. Of these, 15,494 children (5-17 years) were selected, and questionnaires were completed for 15,435 which correspond to a response rate of 99.6 percent within the interviewed households. Overall response rates of 96, 94, 99, and 99 are calculated for the individual interviews of women, men, under-5s, and children age 5-17 years questionnaires respectively (Table SR. 1.1). 4 24 Table

The weighted and unweighted total number of households are equal, since sample weights were normalized.3 The table also shows the weighted mean household size estimated by the survey. 1 See Appendix A: Sample Design, for more details on sample weights. 2 This was determined by asking: To what ethnic group does the household head belong?. 3 See Appendix A: Sample Design, for more details on sample weights Table SR.3.1: Household composition Percent and frequency distribution of households by selected characteristics, Lao PDR 2017 Weighted percent Number of households Weighted Unweighted Total 100.0 22,287 22,287 Sex of household head Male 86.1 19,183 19,506 Female 13.9 3,104 2781 Age of household headA <18 0.1 15 14 18-34 19.4 4,321 4,786 35-64 68.9 15,356 15,099 65-84 11.1 2,472 2,275 85+ 0.6 124 113 Area Urban 32.4 7,214 7,000 Rural 67.6 15,073 15,287 Rural with road 86.0 12,964 12,985 Rural without road 14.0 2,109 2,302 Region North 32.0 7,131 8,416 Central 49.0 10,919 9,167 South 19.0 4,237 4,704 Province Vientiane Capital 13.0 2,906 1,575 Phongsaly 3.2 706 1,045 Luangnamtha 2.8 624 1,071 Oudomxay 5.0 1,122 1,220 Bokeo 2.8 623 1,043 Luangprabang 7.4 1,640 1,445 Huaphanh 4.2 930 1,163 Xayabury 6.7 1,486 1,429 Xiengkhuang 3.8 843 1,115 Vientiane 6.9 1,529 1,414 Borikhamxay 4.3 963 1,132 Khammuane 6.4 1,429 1,356 Savannakhet 13.3 2,969 1,551 Saravane 5.7 1266 1,323 Sekong 1.6 366 1,056 Champasack 9.6 2,151 1,325 Attapeu 2.0 453 1,000 Xaysomboune 1.3 281 1,024 Education of household head None or ECE 16.0 3,566 3,802 Primary 43.1 9,605 9,631 Lower secondary 19.3 4,300 4,252 Upper secondary 7.2 1,606 1,520 Post secondary / Non tertiary 6.4 1,427 1,358 Higher 7.9 1,752 1,702 DK/Missing 0.1 31 22 Number of household members 1 3.2 709 651 2 8.8 1,959 1,838 3 16.0 3,568 3,456 4 23.1 5,146 5,089 5 19.5 4,345 4,363 6 13.2 2,950 3,020 7+ 16.2 3,610 3,870 Ethno-linguistic group of household head Lao-Tai 66.3 14,785 13,028 Mon-Khmer 22.4 4,983 5,726 Hmong-Mien 7.5 1,667 2,309 Chinese-Tibetan 2.8 624 990 Other, DK, Missing 1.0 228 234 Households withA,B At least one child under age 5 years 38.7 8,616 8,888 At least one child age 5-17 years 68.4 15,255 15,494 At least one child age <18 years 80.0 17,819 18,058 At least one woman age 15-49 years 84.3 18,797 19,040 At least one man age 15-49 years 81.1 18,075 18,370 No member age <50 years 5.5 1,230 1,146 No adult (18+ years) member 0.1 13 11 Mean household size 4.7 22,287 22,287 A In all following household level tables, the figures for the category "<18" under "Age of household head" and the category "no adult (18+) member" under "Household with" will be suppressed because they are based on fewer than 25 unweighted cases.
