    Overview
    Abstract
    The Bandafassi HDSS is located in south-eastern Senegal, near the borders with Mali and Guinea. The area is 700 km from the national capital, Dakar. The population under surveillance is rural and in 2012 comprised 13 378 inhabitants living in 42 villages. Established in 1970, originally for genetic studies, and initially covering only villages inhabited by one subgroup of the population of the area (the Mandinka), the project was transformed a few years later into a HDSS and then extended to the two other subgroups living in the area: Fula villages in 1975, and Bedik villages in 1980. Data gathered include births, marriages, migrations and deaths (including their causes). One specific feature of the Bandafassi HDSS is the availability of genealogies.

    Villages are quite small - 270 inhabitants in average - divided in hamlet pour a part. The population density is 19 inhabitants per km².

    The population is divided in three living ethnical groups in distinct villages. In 2000, the ethnical groups are :

    1 - Bedik (25 % of population).

    2 - Malinke (17 %),

    3 - Peul (58 %).

    The housing unit is the square (or concession) which hosts members of an extended patrilineal family. It contains 17 people in average.Peul and Bedik squares are less populated (15 and 18 people in average) than Malinke squares (27 people in average). Polygamy is intense (160 maried women for 100 maried men). Women maried to the same men usually inhabit in the same square. Each wife has her own hu, sharing the same square courtyard.

    Coverage
    Geographic Coverage
    The Mlomp DSS site, about7500 km from the capital, Dakar, in Senegal, lies between latitudes 12°49' and 12°72'N and longitudes 12°53' and 16°28'E, at an altitude ranging from 0 to 350 m above sea level. It is in the region of Kedougou, Département of Bandafassi, in southest Senegal. It is locates12 km west of the city of Kedougou, 30 kms north of the border with Guinea Bissau and 70km west of the border with Mali

    Universe
    At the census, a person was considered a member of the compound if the head of the compound declared it to be so. This definition was broad and resulted in a de jure population under study. Thereafter, a criterion was used to decide whether and when a person was to be excluded or included in the population.

    A person was considered to exit from the study population through either death or emigration. Part of the population of Mlomp engages in seasonal migration, with seasonal migrants sometimes remaining 1 or 2 years outside the area before returning. A person who is absent for two successive yearly rounds, without returning in between, is regarded as having emigrated and no longer resident in the study population at the date of the second round. This definition results in the inclusion of some vital events that occur outside the study area. Some births, for example, occur to women classified in the study population but physically absent at the time of delivery, and these births are registered and included in the calculation of rates, although information on them is less accurate. Special exit criteria apply to babies born outside the study area: they are considered emigrants on the same date as their mother.

    A new person enters the study population either through birth to a woman of the study population or through immigration. Information on immigrants is collected when the list of compounds of a village is checked ("Are there new compounds or new families who settled since the last visit?") or when the list of members of a compound is checked ("Are there new persons in the compound since the last visit?"). Some immigrants are villagers who left the area several years before and were excluded from the study population. Information is collected to determine in which compound they were previously registered, to match the new and old information.

    Information is routinely collected on movements from one compound to another within the study area. Some categories of the population, such as older widows or orphans, frequently move for short periods of time and live in between several compounds, and they may be considered members of these compounds or of none. As a consequence, their movements are not always declared.
