    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). The FAO launched a seventh-round survey between 3 March and 8 April 2023 to monitor agricultural livelihoods and food security in Zimbabwe. The interviews were conducted by computer-assisted telephone. This survey reached 1686 households, representative at administrative 1 level (provincial). It targeted eight out of the ten provinces in Zimbabwe, excluding Bulawayo and Harare. For more information, please go to https://data-in-emergencies.fao.org/pages/monitoring

    Sampling

    Sampling Procedure

    The survey reached 1 686 households, representative at administrative 1 level (provincial). Eight out of the ten provinces in Zimbabwe were targeted, excluding Bulawayo and Harare. At the provincial level, 160 agricultural households were targeted. Quotas were set following the proportion observed in the population, which resulted in 171–221 agricultural households per province. Variable targets for non-agricultural households were set following the proportion observed in the population, which resulted in 14–40 non-agricultural households per province.
    Weighting

    Different indicators were used to correct the disproportionate sampling at adm 1: population counts and the percentage of agricultural households. The access to electricity was also used as a wealth proxy, as a post-stratification indicator for the weights.
