Demographic and Health Survey (2005)

Datasource: 
Demographic and Health Survey (DHS)
Period: 
February, 2005 to July, 2005
In the context of its desire to obtain a database designed to provide reliable indicators to monitor and assess the implementation of the country’s sector programs and policies, the Poverty Reduction Strategy, Vision 2020 and the commitments it has undertaken at the international level, in particular the Millennium Development Goals, the Government of Rwanda has just completed the Third Demographic and Health Survey (EDSR-III 2005).  
 
EDSR-III follows the datasources that were successfully conducted in 1992 and 2000, and is part of a broad, worldwide program of socio-demographic and health Surveys conducted in developing countries since the mid-1980’s. In addition to the indicators  on fertility, family planning, and maternal and child health which the Survey normally provides, the main innovation of EDSR-III was the integration of a datasource module on the seroprevalence of HIV and anemia as well as a module  on domestic violence. As such, for the first time, the datasource allowed us to determine the prevalence of HIV at the national level.
