Rwanda has kicked off its once-in-a-decade survey of people living in the country that will be conducted over the next two weeks.
Some 20,000 officers are asking individuals about the number of people in their households, their level of education, health cover, how they make a living, their water and electricity supply, internet use, ownership of telephones – among other questions.
