Interviewer instructions
B3. Household needs
This is the amount the household needs for example for food, clothes, electricity/rent/water, television/radio, other purchases for the household, school fees/tuition, etc.
Ask the question as follows:
"How much is needed on average by this household for one month?" Try to get the respondent to itemize the amount needed each month for the above-mentioned items and then calculate the sum. If it is difficult for the respondent to answer, ask him to estimate the needs of the household for food for a week or on a daily basis. For clothing and purchases of furniture and other household items, ask him to estimate the amount needed on average for a year, and then calculate the average needed for one month.
