Demographic and Health Survey, Round 2 [hh/dhs-2]
DHS surveys are designed by NISR, and implemented by Ministry of Agriculture . The DHS 2000 was designed to monitor various indicators of livestock and husboundry.
This report summarizes the findings of the Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey (RDHS-II 2000).The second undertaking of this type, the RDHS-II is a nationally representative survey conducted from June to November 2000 by the National Office of Population. During the survey, which took place from June 26 to November 30, 2000, a total of 10,421 women age 15-49 and 2,717 men age 15-59 were interviewed. The RDHS-II provides information on population and health that is significant at the national level, at the level of residence, and at the level of prefectures. RDHS-II data are comparable with those of similar surveys conducted in other developing countries and thus permit international comparisons to be made.

Scope
Main Objectives of this survey were :
The sociodemographic characteristics of the population of women and men interviewed (residence, education, literacy, employment, access to media) are background information that is essential for the analysis of all health and demographic indicators.
The data collected during the survey permit the estimation of levels and trends in fertility. They also provide information on the various factors that affect the reproductive life of women, in particular, unions and sexual activity. Moreover, the survey tries to determine the family size preferences of women and men
Use of family planning methods, and (more specifically) modern methods, allows women and couples to better achieve their fertility objectives and ideal family size. The levels, trends, and characteristics of childhood mortality are a function of the health, environmental, socioeconomic and cultural conditions that prevail in a population and among its social strata. For that reason, the level of childhood mortality is often considered one of the best indicators of the level of development of a country. The majority of deaths due to maternal causes could be avoided if women received adequate antenatal care during pregnancy, if delivery were assisted by a trained medical professional, and if the women benefited from postnatal care.
Several years ago the Rwandan Ministry of Health instituted an Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) through which all children would be required to receive the BCG vaccine, three doses of both DPT and polio vaccines, and the vaccine for measles before the age of one.
Malnutrition has serious repercussions for both health and the economy. The greatest repercussion is the increase in mortality risks. Exacerbation of the risk of contracting diseases, and poor mental development are other equally important consequences. UNAIDS estimates the number of new cases of HIV infection in the world at 5.3 million and the number of deaths due to AIDS in the year 2000 at 3 million. Subsaharan countries are most affected by the epidemic: about three quarters of the deaths due to AIDS since the beginning of the epidemic occurred among them.
