Series Information
The Guinea-Bissau EHCVM 2018/19 is the first edition of a nationally representative household survey conducted within the West Africa Economic Monetary Union (WAEMU) Household Survey harmonization Project (P153702) a joint program by the World Bank and the WAEMU Commision that aims at producing household survey data in member countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo). The survey covers all regions and includes approximately 5,000 households.
Abstract
The Guinea-Bissau EHCVM 2018/is implemented by the National institute of Statistics (INE) with support from the World Bank and the WAEMU Commission. The objective of the program is to strengthen the capacity of its member countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Guinee Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo) to conduct living conditions surveys that meet harmonized, regional standards and to make the collected micro-data publicly accessible. The EHCVM is a nationally representative survey of 5,000 households, which are also representative of the geopolitical zones (at both the urban and rural level).
The survey uses two main survey instruments: a household/individual questionnaire, and a community-level questionnaire. The surveys took place in two waves with each wave covering half of the sample. The first wave was fielded between September 2018 and December 2018, while the second wave occurred between April 2019 and June 2019. The two-wave approach was chosen to account for seasonality of consumption.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The Guinea-Bissau EHCVM 2018/19 sample covers all regions with urban and rural areas surveyed in all regions apart from the autonomous sector of Bissau (SAB) where all respondents are from urban areas.
Upon deciding on the sample size and repartition, the survey design team implemented a 2-stage sampling methodology. At the first stage, 450 enumeration areas (EAs) were selected from the sample frame. In the second stage, 12 households were selected in each enumeration area randomly.
The total survey sample size is 5351 households - 1990 from urban areas and 3361 from rural areas. After that, the survey design randomly divided each enumeration area into two equal groups. The survey team interrogated the first group in wave 1 and the other in wave 2. Finally, for various reasons, including availability and quality monitoring, the final sample size comprises slightly more households (twenty-three) in round 2 than in round 1. In wave one, the survey teams interviewed 2664 households (1015 in urban areas and 1649 in rural areas. In wave two, the teams interviewed 2687 households (975 in urban areas and 1712 in rural areas).
