Abstract

The Benin EHCVM 2018/19 is implemented by the National institute of Statistics and Economical Analysis (INSAE) 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 8,000 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 October 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.
