The 2011/12 Household Budget Survey (HBS) of Tanzania Mainland was similar to those conducted during 2001/02 and 2007 but with some improvements in the survey instruments. It was a nationwide survey covering both rural and urban private households of all income levels and all sizes. The survey period was one year.

The technical part of the 2011/12 Household Budget Survey is the second in the series of reports for this survey. It has been published to explain fully the methods used in conducting the inquiry, to aid in the assessment of published HBS results and to inform interested users about the numerous operations in the survey programmes.
