National Social Safety Nets Project Livelihood Pilot Baseline Survey 2019

Despite the significant growth experienced in Nigeria in recent years, poverty has been on the rise, particularly in rural areas. The National Social Safety Nets Project (NASSP) was designed to provide poor and vulnerable household’s access to targeted transfers and to pilot scalable livelihoods interventions to support sustainable income generating activities and graduation out of poverty. To assess the impacts of the livelihood pilot activities, a sample of households was interviewed for the baseline data collection before the introduction of these interventions. These households will then be re-interviewed after the completed implementation of the livelihood package in a random subset of communities, to evaluate any resulting changes in household welfare and to gain insights about the most cost-effective approaches to deliver the livelihood package at scale.
Coverage
8,035 NASSP beneficiary households from 460 communities in 12 local government areas (LGAs) in the six livelihood pilot states: Anambra, Bauchi, Cross River, Jigawa, Niger and Oyo.

Sampling
The survey used a multistage sampling procedure.
Stage 1: Six states were selected for the pilot study, one from each geopolitical zone, to ensure it represents national diversity. The states also satisfied the following criteria: availability of a State Beneficiary Register (SBR); participation in the Community and Social Development Project (CSDP) and/or Fadama; and adoption of the co-responsibility component of the NASSP project.
Stage 2: Local Government Areas (LGAs) were selected from each state. Both LGAs were rural, to ensure the livelihood works in the most challenging of environments. Not more than one LGA was selected in each senatorial district to ensure widespread representation.
Stage 3: Pilot communities were selected based on these factors: 12 to 56 households per community (for implementation feasibility); at least 3 communities per ward (to allow stratification of treatment arms within wards); at least 2 wards per LGA.
Stage 4: Households were randomly sampled from each community, proportionate to the coverage of the NASSP project.
Survey instrument
The baseline survey questionnaire was programmed into the SurveyCTO application on Android tablets and trained enumerators administered the survey to household respondents in face-to-face interviews conducted during household visits.
The survey questionnaire was developed in English language by the research team and translated into Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Nupe and Pidgin by professional translators. Heads of households and caregivers were the main target respondents and separate sections of the survey were targeted to each of them. If a household head was unavailable, the caregiver responded on their behalf (7.5% of household). If the caregiver was unavailable, the alternate responded (2.5% of households). Questions were also asked to economically active members in each household when available. The average interview duration was 3 hours.
The survey questionnaire was divided into the following sections: household composition, employment, agriculture, livestock, business activities, program participation, safety nets, other income, remittances, consumption, finances, shocks, food security, dwelling type, household assets, psychosocial wellbeing, household dynamics, and time use.
