Abstract

A survey of select rural markets in Rwanda captured monthly data on price and availability of a basket of 68 goods. Data was captured every month from January 2017 to November 2020 for 130 markets; 18 additional markets have data from 2017 and 2018 only. The markets are not a random sample and were selected based on their proximity to roads scheduled for rehabilitation by the Government of Rwanda. Markets are spread across 21 districts in Rwanda, covering all 4 provinces.

This is a panel dataset of monthly price data from a selected sample of rural markets in Rwanda, with data points starting in January 2017 and ending in November 2020.

Name
Innovations for Poverty Action - Rwanda

Supervision

Regular field supervision was provided by the organization responsible for data collection, Innovations for Poverty Action - Rwanda. Supervision included regular unannounced field visits and refresher trainings of all enumerators every other month. Research team staff conducted random spot checks of field work.

Data Collection Notes

Data was collected through in-person interviews (enumerators recorded data on tablets) from January 2017 through March 2020. Due to the global pandemic, fieldwork halted in March 2020 and data collection switched to phone-based surveys using the same enumeration team and a comparable survey instrument.

Data processing

Data Editing

2-3 price points were taken per product at each market per month. In order to deal with outliers, prices were logged and averaged to get mean monthly prices, then exponentiated to be interpretable. Where a product was not available, there is no price data. However, there are cases where a product was available but price data was not available. Indicators other than availability and price are embargoed and not included in the dataset at this time.
