Samenvatting	Pilot multistage sampling applies a small-scale trial run of a multistage sampling design before committing to the full fieldwork. The researcher draws a mini-version of the hierarchical sample — typically spanning the same stages (e.g., regions, then clusters, then individuals) — to test frame quality, stage-transition procedures, and variance estimates, then uses those findings to calibrate the main sampling plan.	Cluster sampling is a probability sampling technique in which the population is divided into naturally occurring groups (clusters), a random sample of clusters is selected, and all — or a random subset of — members within each selected cluster are studied. It is especially practical when a complete population list is unavailable or when units are geographically dispersed, making individual random selection prohibitively expensive. One-stage cluster sampling surveys every member of selected clusters; two-stage designs add a second random draw within clusters.
