How should units of measurement be entered?
It depends. For some questions, the units to be used are specified in the questionnaire, and any local units used should be converted to these standard metric units (km, ha, etc.)). This applies to questions in the village and annual household questionnaires. For the quarterly income questionnaires, local units can be used for weight, volume and area. If used, keep two things in mind: First, get a code assigned from the PEN coordinator for each unit used (if not already included in the code list). Second, keep track of the conversion factors, as these have to be submitted with the final data set.
