(17) Preface The Integrated Household Survey (IHS) is one of the two major household surveys alongside Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) that are regularly conducted by the Gambia Bureau of Statistics (GBoS). Several surveys have been undertaken on household income and expenditure but the first and second IHSs were conducted in 2003/04 and 2010/11 respectively while the third round was conducted in (2015/16). The results of the survey has been the key input in the measurement of poverty at the national level as well as providing valuable information in the evaluation of changing conditions in households. These surveys have provided government and all stakeholders with indicators (mostly on poverty and vulnerability) to enable evidence-based policy formulation and monitor the progress towards national and international development frameworks. The First Integrated Household Survey was designed and conducted by the National Statistics Office (then Central Statistics Department) with technical and financial assistance from World Bank (WB) under the Capacity Building and Economic Management Project (CBEMP). The second IHS which was designed and conducted by GBoS with technical and financial support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) made provision for important data on household income, consumption expenditure and pattern at national and urban/rural levels. It is important, however, to note that both the earlier IHSs were representative at the Local Government Area (LGA). The primary objective of the IHS2015/16 was to monitor the determinants of poverty and its dynamics, assist the Gambia Government and stakeholders with the necessary socio-economic data for poverty monitoring and policy formulation. The survey also provides weights to rebase the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and the much needed household data to update the System of National Accounts (SNA) from SNA1993 to SNA2008. The IHS205/16 cannot come at a better time as the country is on the verge of completing the mid-term national development blueprint that will guide the government and its development partners. It is also the first major household survey that is finalized after the approval of the SDG indicators as well as Agenda 2063. These are both international frameworks to which Gambia has subscribed. Therefore, the IHS2015/16 will supply valuable information on the status, and dynamics of poverty of household and individuals. It will also offer further information on other socio-economic variables. The added advantage of this survey is the availability of estimates for indicators at a micro level than the previous IHSs as the sampling was done at a lower level (district level sampling). This provides government and stakeholders with better understanding of the social variables at district level compared to other previous household survey. The IHS 2005/2016 also provides a basis for the conduct of future surveys in terms of content and coverage. While the questionnaire is open to updates and adjustments, it was design in a very comprehensive manner so that other similar surveys could be built from it, as it deals with a wide range of topics covering many sectors and arising issues. Notwithstanding, specific issues on Women and Children as well as mortality and irregular migration was not discussed. GBoS has had constant technical support from World Bank throughout the design and implementation of the survey as part of the pledges made by them. This is part of World Bank’s objective to support sub-Sahara African countries in providing technical and financial support in implementing national representative surveys covering valuable topics, monitor poverty and other social indicators. The financial support for this round of IHS mainly came from The Government of The Gambia, World Bank, UNDP, UNICEF, FAO, WFP and WHO. Nyakassi M. B.

(18) Acknowledgments The Gambia Bureau of Statistics presents the results of the third Integrated Household Survey (IHS2015/16) that will facilitate monitoring and evaluation of different policies and programs at both district and national levels. This is the first survey that provides poverty profile at the district level in The Gambia and will better inform the finalization of the national development plan. It is also the first detailed household survey completed after the approval of the SDG indicators as well as the African Agenda 2063. In order to support evidence-based decision and planning processes with more frequent and reliable statistics, the frequency of IHS is now going to be three years instead of five. This is an ambitious target that we are committed to achieve in collaboration with our stakeholders. this regard, we present our sincere appreciation to the Government of The Gambia for its support for statistics development in the country, the Ministry of Finance and Economic affairs, and other Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies for the facilitation that we received in this endeavor and in other similar efforts. We express our sincere appreciation to World Bank that has provided constant technical and financial support throughout the design, implementation and analysis of the IHS2015/16. We equally wish to thank the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for its continued support. Special gratitude also goes to other UN agencies such as United Children’s Fund (UNICEF), World Food Programme (WFP), World Health Organisation (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO). Their contribution was of immense importance to the effective accomplishment of the survey. We would also like to thank the IHS2015/16 management team and the entire staff of GBoS for their effort throughout the planning and implementation stages. We also appreciate the valuable collaboration from all survey respondents.. 13.

(21) Special Notes Concerning Survey All percentages are weighted (grossed up) unless otherwise stated. To obtain national estimates, the sample figures had to be grossed up by the appropriate factor (weighting coefficient). Because of the effects of rounding, percentages may not always add exactly to 100. For the some reasons estimated numbers may not add exactly to the estimated totals shown in the table. "N" implies the weighted sample size (number of observations) by the various dimensions such as population, gender, ruralurban, etc of the analyses. 0.0 means .. or negligible Percentages add up to 100 unless otherwise stated. Missing information is not imputed.. The tables refer to IHS 2015/16 unless specified.. 16.

(22) Introduction The international discussion on the need for more and better data for policymaking has reached an almost unprecedented level. International agreements on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and country-level Poverty Reduction Strategies such as the current Programme for Accelerated Growth and Employment (PAGE) have focused attention on the statistical systems that must produce the data to measure progress on the MDGs and National Development Plans. To this end, the role and importance of household surveys in the Statistical System cannot be overemphasized. Household surveys are not only the source of specific types of data required for effective policy making but also they offer the most reliable information for targeted interventions. The proposed project encompasses, among other features: the design and implementation of a household survey focusing on household income and expenditure which feeds into poverty analysis, CPI construction, and update of household expenditures section within National Accounts. The project is also expected to provide a detailed agricultural productivity analysis and serve as baseline data for the successor of “PAGE” and data to assess the progress thus far. Other components of this project include capacity building and cross-country knowledge sharing, alongside efforts to improve survey methodologies in The Gambia. Objective of the Survey A socioeconomic survey is one of the most important sources of statistical data on household expenditure and income as well as for other data on housing status, individual and household characteristics, and living conditions. Not only do they provide indicators to measure specific economic and social issues, but they also provide information that makes it possible to know and explain the determinant or causal factors behind the behaviour of such issues. Several income and expenditure survey have been conducted snce 1989. The 2015/16 Integrated Household Survey (IHS) will be the third conducted in The Gambia. The first IHS was conducted in 2003 and the second was in 2010. In the 2003 IHS the daily diary, which was intended to record current expenditure for one full month was actually administered to half of the sample of the 4,800 households and for more than half of this sub-sample the diaries were administered during a shorter period. This was due to many problems met in the collection such as the low literacy levels in the households and weaknesses during the data collection. This was the reason why the 2010 IHS used recall where the enumerator recorded purchases during the interview. The 2015/16 IHS will use a similar approach as in 2010. This survey is important because it will provide The Gambia Government with comprehensive information on the socio-economic status of the population and to enable government to monitor the determinants of poverty and its dynamics. Thus, information from the IHS can be used to assess the current levels of differentials among population and to evaluate basic household needs in key sectors such as drinking water, energy, schooling, health facilities, sanitation, employment and other sectors. The specific objectives of the 2015/16 IHS includes: · To provide a database that allows for end time analysis of national level government policies embedded within the PAGE. · To understand the poverty dynamics across the country and factors influencing them. · To obtain in depth understanding on the living standards of households to livelihood strategies and measures of income diversification. · To get information on household expenditure patterns in order to update the National Accounts. · To obtain a new set of weights for the basket of goods and services that allow for upgrading the Consumer Price Index (CPI). · To build capacity and development of sustainable systems for the production of accurate and timely information on households in The Gambia. A number of training activities are envisaged under this project such as a STATA workshop, household survey design and management, and study tours for poverty analysis. 17.

(23) Sample Design Coverage. The whole country was covered concurrently during the entire survey period, spreading over twelve months and divided into four sub-samples representing seasonal/ quarterly variation. Sampling plan. A two-stage probability proportional to size (PPS) stratified random sampling (size being number of households per EA) without replacement was adopted. At each stage, sub-samples of equal size were independently drawn without replacement. Sampling units were selected for each sub-sample with simple random sampling without replacement. Each survey period (a quarter – 3 months) was allocated one sub-sample. Local Government Area and District corresponds to the survey Stratum. Enumeration Areas (EAs) were taken as the first stage units whilst 20 households within EAs were selected as the second stage units. Sampling Frame. For the first stage selection, the 2013 Census EA list was used as the frame. The available information about the EAs are the EA boundaries with the number of household size. In the second stage, all the EAs selected were combed by a listing of households exercise by an individual enumerator for subsequent household selection.. First Stage Stratification Except for Kanifing LGA which does not have district connotation per se, EAs were stratified according to districts for the other seven LGAs. The actual sample size was 600 EAs (13,000 households) but due to rounding up the sample increase to 605 EAs. 10 districts have less than 4 EAs and to be able to capture the sessional variation in them they are adjusted to 4 EAs. A total of 22 EAs were added to the sample. The final sample is about 622 EAS (12,440 households). A total of 44 (district) first stage strata including Kanifing were determined. Taking into consideration the available resources and manpower, 622 EAs consisting of four sub-samples of 155.5 EAs each was covered during the entire survey period of twelve months. Thus, each phase (a quarter – 3 months) of the survey was allocated 155.5 EAs. Second Stage Sample Again, the available resources dictated a sample size of 12,440 households. It required twelve teams constituting twelve (12) supervisors and seventy (70) enumerators each were assigned to different geographical locations, taking into account social and cultural considerations amongst others. Each enumerator covered a total of 259. Seventeen (17) households in each phase of a three-month period corresponding to 12.96 EAs. Each team will be allocated about 4.32 EAs or 86.38 households per month. Twenty (20) households per EA were selected with simple random sampling without replacement - all of which part one and part two questionnaires were administered. Survey Instruments The Gambia Integrated Household Survey (IHS) 2015/16 adopted a house-based questionnaire. To ensure concise responses for the interviews, pre-coded multiple-choice response questions were used. These include:Part 1: Household Questionnaire SECTION 0: HOUSEHOLD PARTICULARS SECTION 1: HOUSEHOLD ROSTER SECTION 2A: HEALTH GENERAL SECITON 2B: EBOLA AWARENESS 18.

(25) Part 3: Community Questionnaire Part 4: Price questionnaire Field Organization Training Field staff The training of interviewers was guided by an interviewer’s manual. This involved comprehensive and systematic explanations on: the structure and content of the survey questionnaire; basic concepts and definitions to be applied in the execution of the survey data collection exercise; interactive discussions; simulated field trials; mock interviews. Fieldwork The data collection exercise for the main survey commenced on end April 2015 and ended on May 2016. Sixtyone teams were involved in the fieldwork which comprised a team of one supervisor, three interviewers and one driver. In addition, there were two standby supervisors and six interviewers. As a quality control measure and also boost the morale of the field staff, both scheduled and unannounced extended/extensive field trips were made by the senior project management personnel to check on the logistics, quality and progress of work. Data Capture and Processing The questionnaires were processed in batches with questionnaires from each Enumeration Area (EA) being considered as a single batch. This made it easier to manage the image and also allow the operator to capture all the necessary information about an EA. Editing took three different forms:Manual editing was carried out to ensure that the reference number which was composed of the EA number, Household number and Questionnaire number, was correct and that it was printed out on all pages on the set of questionnaire.. 20.
