Living Standards Measurement Study [hh/lsms]
The Senegal 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 7,100 households.
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 July 2019. The two-wave approach was chosen to account for seasonality of consumption.

Sampling
The Senegal EHCVM 2018/19 sample covers all regions with urban and rural areas surveyed in all regions.
Upon deciding on the sample size and repartition, the survey design team implemented a 2-stage sampling methodology. At the first stage, 598 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 7156 households - 3941 from urban areas and 3215 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) in round 2 than in round 1. In wave one, the survey teams interviewed 3568 households (1961 in urban areas and 1607 in rural areas. In wave two, the teams interviewed 3588 households (1980 in urban areas and 1608 in rural areas).
Survey instrument
The Senegal ECHVM 2018/19 consists of two questionnaires for each of the two visits. The Household Questionnaires was administered to all households in the sample. The Community Questionnaire was administered to the community to collect information on the socio-economic indicators of the enumeration areas where the sample households reside.
EHCVM 2018/19 Household Questionnaire: The Households Questionnaire provides information on demographics; education; health; employment (including activity-related information, primary and secondary employments); nonjob revenues; saving and credit (including information for payments due for 15 years old members of the household); food consumption; food security; nonfood consumption; nonagricultural enterprises; housing; household’s assets; transfers (received and sent); shocks and survival strategies; safety nets; agriculture (including information on plots, costs of inputs, and crops); livestock; fishing; agricultural equipment; and a module that provides indicators to helps users situate the household on the poverty spectrum based on subjective considerations and comparative indicators.
EHCVM 2018/19 Community Questionnaire: The Community Questionnaire solicits information on general community’s characteristics; community access to infrastructure and to social services; community agricultural activity; community participation; and local retail price information.
