Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
This is part of a global project on Pastoralist-driven Data Management Systems. Similar studies were also conducted in Argentina and Mongolia.
Sample survey data [ssd]
Households
The survey was conducted in two stages. The description of scope for the first stage includes the identification and description of pastoral households. The second survey was conducted on a sample of the pastoralist population, as estimated based on the previous survey. The aim was to gather information on the pastoralist economy and on the contribution of pastoralism to the national GDP.

The first survey, which aimed to identify and describe the pastoralist population, gathered information on 8,938 pastoralist households in Chad. The second survey, which was more in-depth and aimed to assess the pastoralist economy and its contribution to the national economy, was conducted on a sample (based on the results of the first survey) of 1,010 pastoralist households.
The target regions for the second survey were originally 15, out of a total of 23 regions. However, owing to unforeseen constraints, only 10 regions were covered.
Sample weights were calculated for each of the data files.
The survey was conducted in 2 rounds. For the first round, a short questionnaire was submitted to a representative of each household, addressing the following topics:
i) households' socio-demographic characteristics;
ii) livestock numbers and ownership;
iii) land tenure and access; and
iv) water access and use.
For the second round, the questionnaire focussed on the economic activity of pastoralists and their contribution to the national GDP. It covers the following topics:
i) household identification
ii) socio-demographic characteristics
iii) livestock herd composition
iv) products and final destination
v) agricultural production, fishing and hunting activity
vi) income and sales
vii) household expenses
viii) shock and adaptation strategies.

The surveys were conducted by the pastoralist organizations themselves. Each of them relied on a highly variable number of enumerators (from 10 to more than one thousand), and on one or more supervisors validating the collected data. The enumerators were selected by the organizations based on their information technology (IT) skills, level of education, availability, interest, knowledge of the local pastoral communities, and relevant experiences and skills, including language and communication skills (for more details, please see sections below).

The first data collection operation in Chad was launched in March 2018, involving 14 collectors, and was originally planned for a duration of four months. However, the results of this first operation were not satisfactory, owing to low technical skills among the collectors and a weak level of communication/collaboration between them and the national node of the RBM in Chad. Therefore, the RBM held another training and logistics session, which led to organizational changes, especially regarding the collectors' motivation and target. As a result, the data collection accelerated, and at the end of January 2019, 8,938 interviews were correctly conducted and uploaded on the Open Foris Collect server.
The second survey was carried out from March to June 2019 and targeted 1,066 pastoralist households, as recommended by CIRAD based on statistical requirements. The same 10 collectors were deployed throughout the national territory, and each of them was assigned to his native zone. The target regions were originally 15 of 23, but owing to unforeseen constraints, only 10 regions were covered. However, the data collection was successful, and 1,010 interviews were correctly conducted.
