The survey which lasted for a year, was undertaken among the agricultural sedentary population in the rural areas of twelve regions excluding Eritrea and Tigrai. The surveys conducted prior to the RIHSP with regard to the rural households were adhoc and limited in scope and coverage for use in planning preparation, monitoring an evaluation. Thus, to bridge one of these gaps the Household Income, Consumption and Expenditure Survey was undertaken simultaneously in rural area to provide data at national and regional levels. The main objectives of the household Income, Consumption and Expenditure Survey were to: a) obtain data that could be an input in the preparation of socio-economic policies and plans; b) assess the quality and quantity of food and drinks consumed by the rural population; c) compare the levels of living of the rural population by region through income, consumption and expenditure data; d) obtain data that could be useful in the estimation of National Income; e) provide data to establishments engaged in purchasing and selling activities; and f) asses and identify surplus and deficit areas. Ethiopia The survey covered rural parts of the country. Household Person Consumption expenditure item/ product Sample survey data [ssd] Data were collected on age, sex, other demographic variables, household income and receipts, consumption of food and drinks, expenditure of the household on various consumption and non-consumption items and on expenditure and income of household enterprises. The household income, consumption and expenditure data were obtained from about 12,000 rural households which were selected from 500 Farmers' Association Areas which served as the primary sampling units. Face-to-face [f2f] The survey was conducted over a period of one year (May 1981 to April 1982). During the period data were collected from each selected household adopting the method of personal interviews and objective measurement. Each household, in general, was visited quarterly for a period of one month during the year. To obtain information on food, drinks and tobacco a visit was made to each selected household twice weekly for a period of one month. For each consumption and non-consumption items the household was asked to provide information once for a reference period of a week. In addition information on durables was collected for three months preceding the last day of the reference month. On the other hand, information on household enterprises was collected for a month and three months of the visit made on the last day of the reference (the reference month is the period to which data referred) month. Data processing includes a number of activities of which the most important are editing, coding, verification, data-entry and tabulation. Eventhough, careful supervision was done on the qulaity of the data, 100% manual editing, coding and verification of the questionnaires was done at the Head Office.

This is achieved through the collection and analysis of censuses, surveys and the use of administrative data as well as the dissemination a range of statistical products and providing assistance and services to users. A microdata dissemination policy is established by CSA to address the conditions and the manner in which anonymized microdata files may be released to users for research purposes. It also strives to identify the different levels of anonymization for different categories of data use. This policy is available at CSA website (www.csa.gov.et <http://www.csa.gov.et>). CSA will release microdata files for use by researchers for scientific research purposes when: The Director General is satisfied that all reasonable steps have been taken to prevent the identification of individual respondents The release of the data will substantially enhance the analytic value of the data that have been collected For all but purely public files, researchers disclose the nature and objectives of their intended research, It can be demonstrated that there are no credible alternative sources for these data, and The researchers have signed an appropriate undertaking. Terms and conditions of use of public data files are the following: The data and other materials provided by CSA will not be redistributed or sold to other individuals, institutions, or organizations without the written agreement of CSA.

Cost Recovery Policy: It is the policy of CSA to encourage broad use of its products by making them affordable for users. Accordingly, CSA attempts to ensure that the costs of creating anonymized microdata files are built-in to the survey budget. At the same time, CSA attempts to recover costs associated with the provisions of special services that benefit only a specific group.
