Living Standards Measurement Study [hh/lsms]
The Guinea-Bissau EHCVM 2021/22 is the second edition of a nationally representative household survey conducted within the West Africa Economic Monetary Union (WAEMU) Household Survey harmonization Project (P153702) a joint program by the World Bank and the WAEMU Commision that aims at producing household survey data in member countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo). The survey covers all regions and includes approximately 5,000 households.
The Guinea-Bissau EHCVM 2021/22 is implemented by the National institute of Statistics (INE) with support from the World Bank and the WAEMU Commission. The objective of the program is to strengthen the capacity of its member countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinee Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo) to conduct living conditions surveys that meet harmonized, regional standards and to make the collected micro-data publicly accessible. The EHCVM is a nationally representative survey of 5,000 households, which are also representative of the geopolitical zones (at both the urban and rural level).
The survey uses two main survey instruments: a household/individual questionnaire, and a community-level questionnaire. The surveys took place in two waves with each wave covering half of the sample. The first wave was fielded between November 2021 and January 2022, while the second wave occurred between April 2022 and August 2022. The two-wave approach was chosen to account for seasonality of consumption.

Sampling
The sampling frame for the 2018/2019 survey is based on the 2009 General Census of Population and Housing (RGPH). In 2021/2022, the sampling was conducted in the same clusters as in 2018/2019. The Guinea-Bissau EHCVM 2018/19 sample covers all regions with urban and rural areas surveyed in all regions apart from the autonomous sector of Bissau (SAB) where all respondents are from urban areas.
The 2018/2019 survey sample was drawn using a two-stage stratified sampling plan. The stratum is the combination of region/residence area. In each stratum, in the first stage, clusters (primary sampling units) were selected with a probability proportional to their size in terms of the number of households. In the second stage, 12 households were selected with equal probability within each cluster.
In 2021/2022, the strategy involved revisiting the same clusters. The aim was to either survey the same 12 households from 2018/2019 if they were found (after the counting phase) or to survey the households that were found and complete the sample to 12 households in clusters where fewer households were found during the counting phase (either because there were fewer than 12 households in the final 2018/2019 database or because some households could not be located).
The total survey sample size is 5,351 households – 1,992 from urban areas and 3,359 from rural areas. After that, the survey design randomly divided each enumeration area into two equal groups. The survey team interrogated the first group in wave 1 and the other in wave 2. Finally, for various reasons, including availability and quality monitoring, the final sample size comprises slightly more households (twenty-nine) in round 2 than in round 1. In wave one, the survey teams interviewed 2,661 households (1,014 in urban areas and 1,647 in rural areas. In wave two, the teams interviewed 2,690 households (978 in urban areas and 1,712 in rural areas).
Survey instrument
The Guinea-Bissau ECHVM 2021/22 consists of two questionnaires for each of the two visits. The Household Questionnaires was administered to all households in the sample. The Community Questionnaire was administered to the community to collect information on the socio-economic indicators of the enumeration areas where the sample households reside.
EHCVM 2021/22 Household Questionnaire: The Households Questionnaire provides information on demographics; education; health; employment (including activity-related information, primary and secondary employments); nonjob revenues; saving and credit (including information for payments due for 15 years old members of the household); food consumption; food security; nonfood consumption; nonagricultural enterprises; housing; household’s assets; transfers (received and sent); shocks and survival strategies; safety nets; agriculture (including information on plots, costs of inputs, and crops); livestock; fishing; agricultural equipment; and a module that provides indicators to helps users situate the household on the poverty spectrum based on subjective considerations and comparative indicators.
EHCVM 2021/22 Community Questionnaire: The Community Questionnaire solicits information on general community’s characteristics; community access to infrastructure and to social services; community agricultural activity; community participation; and local retail price information.
