    Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
    Abstract

    The FAO has developed a monitoring system in 26 food crisis countries to better understand the impacts of various shocks on agricultural livelihoods, food security and local value chains. The Monitoring System consists of primary data collected from households on a periodic basis (more or less every four months, depending on seasonality). FAO launched a Round 3, face-to-face survey on 1 August 2021 to monitor agricultural livelihoods and food security in Afghanistan, but it was abruptly interrupted by the events of mid-August 2021. Data collection resumed in September, until the 24, collecting information from 7155 households.The sample is representative at the provincial level for 20 of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces. Active farmers and livestock producers were randomly sampled. For more information, please go to https://data-in-emergencies.fao.org/pages/monitoring

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    For the households' survey, a total of 7144 households were interviewed. A two-step sampling was adopted, using NSIA (2020) as sample frame, in order to be representative at the level of the 20 provinces targeted. Within each of the 20 provinces, 30 clusters were selected with probability of selection proportional to size; 12 households per cluster were randomly selected. For more details on the sampling procedure, consult the methodology document attached in the documentations tab.
    Weighting

    Observations were weighted for demographic population by province. See https://data-in-emergencies.fao.org/documents/afghanistan-presentation-round-3/explore for more information on the weighting procedure.

    Data Collection Notes

    The data collection process had to be paused when the government changed, the 16 of August 2021, to resume in early September, thereby increasing the time required for data collection, with possible implications for the seasonality of some indicators.
