The documents from the FAM Sampling for Managers workshop (held May 24-26, 1999 in Westminster, Maryland) appear below. The workshop was designed for PVO field and headquarters staff involved in Title II program management. The goal of the workshop was to provide PVO Title II managers with basic knowledge of the sampling process in order to be able to provide adequate direction and supervision to the technical staff (or external consultants) who design and conduct surveys.

This workshop was made possible through the support provided to the Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance (FANta) Project by the Office of Food for Peace of the Bureau for Humanitarian Response at the U.S. Agency for International Development, under terms of Cooperative Agreement No. HRN-A-00-98-00046-00 awarded to the Academy for Educational Development (AED).
