Abstract

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (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). FAO conducted the seventh round of the Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM-Monitoring) household survey between 18 December 2023 and 5 January 2024 in Mali. The survey was conducted to assess agricultural livelihoods and food security. Data were collected face-to-face and reached 1 920 households in all regions of Mali, with the exception of Bamako and Kidal. The survey is regionally representative, and the sampling plan was designed with a margin of error of 10 percent. Data collection took place during the dry season following the harvest.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

Data were collected face-to-face and reached 1 920 households in all regions of Mali, with the exception of Bamako and Kidal. The survey is regionally representative, and the sampling plan was designed with a margin of error of 10 percent.

Surveys are designed based on country-specific needs, objectives, and constraints. They aim to achieve a 10% margin of error, a 95% confidence level, administrative-level granularity, and sufficient sample sizes for key target populations, including agricultural households.

Weighting

Base weights were applied to account for unequal probabilities of household selection across regions, based on population size at the administrative level 1. These weights ensure that the sample distribution reflects the actual population distribution and correct for any over- or under-sampling in specific areas.
