Abstract
The primary objective of the Continuous Multipurpose Household Survey 2017-2018, (CMS-HBS) was to provide a permanent platform for the collection of data relevant to compute socio-economic indicators. With rapid changes in the economy, it was not adequate to have updates once in five or ten years, hence the introduction of CMS-HBS. Each round of the survey collects the same core data on household members' characteristics (sex, age etc.), employment and consumption.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The 2016 Census in Lesotho began on April 10th, 2016. The census team created a refreshed list of Census Enumeration Areas (EAs) and EA maps, and these data and maps were an excellent frame for the CMS-HBS/LMHS survey. The list of households from the census was the basis for selection in each EA.
• The survey conducted by 10 teams, each team visited 12 households in each of 36 EA's per year.
• Total sample size: 10 x 36 x 12 = 4320 households.
• The sample allocated into districts, this should deliver prevalence estimates with a maximum margin of error of:
- 2.3% at the national level (annual)
- 4.6% at the national level (quarterly)
- Between 5% (for Maseru) and 8% (for the smaller districts) at the district level (annual)
• The selection of the 360 EAs was taken from the 2016 census data once it became available at the EA level.
