The HBS was suspended following the civil war that broke out in the country in the early nineties. The data collection resumed in 1997, but only three districts were covered due to limited number of personnel. However, the HBS was properly reestablished in January 2000.
In 2008, the survey was implemented monthly with coverage of 925 households. The following information is collected: demographic information, family composition, housing and infrastructure, consumption, including domestically manufactured items, economic activity in both agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. Starting from January 2009, the survey is conducted quarterly with coverage of 3,000 households.
