The INDEPTH Resource Kit for Demographic Surveillance Systems is intended for use by two
audiences: those about to start a new site; and those who have already established a functioning
site and have completed the core baseline round.
Sections 2 and 3 are for those starting new sites, i.e. all those who have decided to implement
DSS from scratch, and have already secured their startup funding, but still need practical guidance
in getting started. These two sections cover all aspects of the set up of the site and take the site
through to the end of the first census or core baseline survey round.
Sections 4 to 5 are for established sites that have completed the core baseline round, and who
need to establish update routines, or other longer established sites who may want to add additional
special modules to their core data.
Section 6 is a reference section for all sites that collects all the resource documents of the
Resource Kit in an organized fashion in a single access point.
