The Kiltie Awlaelo HDSS includes 10 kebeles (districts) selected from Eastern zone considering agroclimatic, rural/urban and other several factors to assure representativeness. Nine of the study districts are rural and only one is from urban. The site is located 802km North of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.The surveillance was started in 2009, with a baseline population of 65, 848 (urban 87.2% and 13.7% from rural) living in 14,454 households.
