The Agency for Statistics of BiH, in cooperation with the entity, institutes for statistics, in July and August will conduct the third and fourth wave of updating the Master Sample Framework for Household Statistical Surveys. For the purposes of updating, accredited interviewers and controllers list households in the selected sample of census circles with the ultimate goal to increase the scope and quality of statistical data in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as their further alignment with EU standards. This activity is implemented through the project "Support to the Statistical System of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the Preparation of the Main Sample Framework" with the financial support of the EU Delegation to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The project for updating of sample frame is conducted quarterly for three years. Field activities are carried out in the first four quarters in cooperation with the Prism Research & Consulting agency in Sarajevo. Thereafter, the update will be continued by the statistical institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Agency for Statistics of BiH, the Institute for Statistics of FBiH and the RS Institute of Statistics.

Due to the importance of this project, statistical institutions ask householders for active cooperation in the implementation of this important survey and guarantee that, in accordance with the laws on statistics and protection of personal data, the answers to the questions will be kept strictly confidential and that the respondents will remain completely anonymous, and collected data will be used only for statistical purposes.
