Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
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). The FAO conducted the fourth round of DIEM household survey in Cameroon between 20 March and 8 April 2023 to assess agricultural livelihoods and food security. Data was collected through computer-assisted telephone interviews conducted by Geopoll, an implementing partner, in seven of Cameroon's ten regions (Adamawa, East, Far-North, North, North-West, West and South-West). A sample of 1466 households was reached. For more information, please go to https://data-in-emergencies.fao.org/pages/monitoring

Sampling
Data was collected through computer-assisted telephone interviews conducted by Geopoll, an implementing partner, in seven of Cameroon's ten regions (Adamawa, East, Far-North, North, North-West, West and South-West). A sample of 1 466 households was reached. Data collection took place at the end of the dry season and at the start of the short rainy season in the West and North-West regions, during the dry season in the northern regions (Adamawa, North and Far-North), and at the start of the planting season in the other regions. The survey is representative at the regional level, and the sampling plan was designed with a margin of error of 8.5 per cent.
Weights were calculated on the basis of population size and a wealth indicator (access to drinking water).
Survey instrument
A link to the questionnaire has been provided in the documentations tab.
The dataset was anonymized using Statistical Disclosure methods by the Data in Emergencies Hub team and reviewed by the Office of Chief Statistician at FAO. All direct identifiers have been removed prior to data submission.
In addition, recoding and local suppressions were applied to ensure data confidentiality. Recoding was especially applied to variables, such as education, marital status, household size, residence status and wealth indicators.
