The survey presented the final results of the income, expenditure, consumption and poverty analysis. The results correspond to the collection period that covered the four quarters in 2010.The Gambia Bureau of Statistics (GBoS) had the major responsibility of conducting the survey. The objectives of the IHS are:\n\n1. To provide identification of policy target groups.\n2. To derive consumption patterns of households.\n3. To provide a mechanism whereby key poverty indicators can easily and regularly be produced in order to describe and monitor the well-being of different     categories of households.\n4. To provide some key data on how the economic policies affect the availability and quality of social and economic services to households, both as producers and     consumers of products.\n5. To collect data relating to such topics such as health, education, employment, environment, agriculture and governance.\n6. To identify individual items that should be included in the consumption basket.\n7. To provide data for poverty analysis and remittances studies.\n\nThe data collection for the survey lasted for a period of one year and covered 4,800 randomly selected households on a Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) basis across Local Government Areas (LGAs). The IHS is scheduled to be conducted on regular intervals preferably every five years, with light poverty studies at less frequent intervals, in view of current developments taking place in The Gambia.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2010-01-01","end":"2011-01-03","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Gambia, The","abbreviation":"GMB"}],"geog_coverage":"National Coverage","analysis_unit":"- Households\n- Individuals","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The 2010 Integrated Household Survey covered the following topics:\n- Household demographic characteristics\n- Health for all household members\n- Fertility \n- Education and literacy\n- Non-formal training and literacy\n- Employment\n- Household income \n- Rent paid by the household \n- Housing amenities\n- Ownership of assets\n- Perception about poverty \n- Unemployment"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"The Gambia Bureau of Statistics","abbreviation":"GBoS","affiliation":"The Gambia Government"}],"sampling_procedure":"The Gambia Integrated Household Survey (IHS) was administered to a representative sample of households. A total of 4,800 households were interviewed. In the previous IHS 2003\/2004, about one third of the surveyed households were in urban areas and two thirds in rural areas. It should be noted that the 2010 survey followed the same sampling technique as the 2003 selecting the same enumeration areas. Some of these were rural in 2003 but considered urban in 2010 based on developments in terms of population, infrastructure and social services.\nThe daily record form which was used for recording daily household expenditure was administered to half of the sample in 2003\/04 and was not used in 2010 because of low literacy level of some of the sampled households.\n\nThe survey used a two-stage probability proportional to size design (PPS), stratified random sampling (size being number of households per EA) without replacement was adopted. In the first stage 240 Enumeration areas were selected consisting of four sub-samples of 60 EA. Each was covered during the entire survey period of twelve months.
