Living Standards Measurement Study [hh/lsms]
The Niger 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 6,000 households.
The Niger EHCVM 2021/22 is implemented by the National Institute of Statistics (INS) 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 6,000 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 February 2022, while the second wave occurred between June 2022 and August 2022. The two-wave approach was chosen to account for seasonality of consumption.

Sampling
The 2021-2022 survey is a cluster panel survey, and the sampling plan is based on the 2018/19 survey. Upon deciding on the sample size and repartition, the survey design team implemented a 2-stage sampling methodology. At the first stage, 504 enumeration areas (EAs) were selected from the sample frame. In the second stage, 12 households were selected in each enumeration area randomly.
The total survey sample size is 6,622 households - 2,511 from urban areas and 4,111 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. In wave one, the survey teams interviewed 3,303 households (1,177 in urban areas and 2,126 in rural areas. In wave two, the teams interviewed 3,319 households (1,334 in urban areas and 1,985 in rural areas).
Survey instrument
The Niger 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.
