Abstract:	Often when surveys are designed and undertaken, particularly in third-world countries, there are major resource constraints on time and finances. The time constraints can be linked to costs, but also can be in the form of requirements for rapid information. Sometimes the question is whether a survey is justified at all, given costs and the pressure to apply all available resources to the underlying problem. Even in this situation, however, there usually remains a need for proper monitoring to measure progress. In the third world, adequate monitoring also is connected to a need to secure further funding, and this can alter the resourcing balance. These issues will be discussed with reference to poverty-related surveys and/or small-area estimation in Uganda, Azerbaijan, Vietnam, Philippines, and Bangladesh, undertaken by a variety of national and international agencies.
