We are very happy to provide this information for the user community to browse. We at the National Institute of Statistics-NISR are proud to have provided relevant statistics for poverty analysis in such a short period. The survey was completed toward the end of October and here we are in March, not even six months after the survey, and we are able to post some substantial information to the user community. There are many reasons that this was accomplished: A dedicated and accomplished staff at the NISR; the availability of a panel of international experts through OPM (Oxford Policy Management); the effective adaptation of the data processing system from the DHS model and the use of the Microdata Management Toolkit as provided by the IHSN (International Household Survey Network) which provides the output you are now browsing with the touch of a button. All of this was done during a time of great and momentous changes in Rwanda since the establishment of the new NISR only a year ago. This survey adds to the patrimony and wealth of data available in Rwanda. We are committed to providing timely and relevant statistics geared toward poverty reduction as required by our user community drafting the EDPRS (Economic Development Poverty Reduction Strategy Policy). This document was generated using the IHSN Microdata Management Toolkit

Rwanda (2005-2006) Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions de Vie des Ménages 2005-2006 (EICV 2005) Household Living Condition Survey 2005-2006 Overview Type Integrated Survey (non-LSMS) [hh/is] Identification rwa_eicv_2005 Version Production Date: 2007-02-22 Vesion 1.1 (Release post MINECOFIN workshop) Notes Version 1.0 -First release of data used in a capacity building workshop held on 22-27 Feb. 2007 -This data is the original data set as used for the OPM preliminary poverty analysis. -This data has been largely edited for poverty related studies. Further editing may be likely -Key data quality issues:

1. Adjusments were done to the own consumption data on reporting of buckets as a unit of consumption. Price reporting for for unit needed to be adjusted in some areas.
2. The residual value as reported in Section 11 Durables is likely not useable as it reflects replacement value and no correction was undertaken.
3. All product codes are not recoded to a standard. They have been left as sequential numbers.
4. Household identifiers have been subject to some anonymization. They have been uniquely identified by a sequential cluster and sequential household id number.
5. Only relevant and representative geographic ids are included. A key to match the current ids to their geographic correlates has been provided to the NISR. This file is entitled: eicv2_remap_weights.sav -The following additional derived files are provided: *deflators: contains the computed deflators used for the poverty sttudy. *poverty file: contains the household consumption aggregate, poverty statistics and welfare quintile. Version 1.1 -Corrected some spelling errors in the DDI. -Added the OPM Poverty Assessment from December. -Changed the name of the community files. Series This is the second in a series of household living condition (consumption) surveys. The first survey is archived as rwa_eicv_2000. Abstract The objectives of the EICV 2005 are to provide information on poverty and living conditions in Rwanda and to monitor changes over time as part of the ongoing monitoring of the Poverty Reduction Strategy and other Government policies. The results of the EICV 2005 will be compared with the results of the EICV 2001 and the content of the questionnaire will be broadly similar to that of the previous survey. In addition the survey will provide data on household income and expenditures which can be used for updating the weights and market basket for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and components of the national accounts. Survey data on agricultural activities have also proved to be important for national accounts and will complement information provided by future agricultural and rural sector surveys.

Unit of Analysis Household Person Commodity (for GDP computation) Scope & Coverage Scope The information gathered during the survey will be used primarily to provide information on assorted household and personal level characteristics which can be analyzed vis-à-vis the household's consumption. The primary household and person characteristics that are gathered in this survey in order to provide relevant indicators are: -school attendance and literacy. This includes information to compute net and gross enrollment rates -health and fertility. Some indicators such as maternal mortality are outside the scope of the survey. In this case, a more appropriate survey like the DHS may be recommended -migration -employment and economic activity. -land ownership and other agricultural based indicators. The survey is also designed to provide important information for the computation of National Accounts and rebasing the Consumer Price Index. Geographic Coverage Complete national coverage which included all 11 former provinces (now 5 major provinces) and the City of Kigali.

There were significant changes in the areas considered urban between the two censuses, but these geographic changes are taken into account in the comparative analysis between the EICV1 and EICV2 data. The sample design for EICV1 is described in the report on Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions de Vie des Ménages (Avec Volet Budget

• Consommation) - Plan de Sondage” (Scott, July 1997). A detailed description of the EICV2 sample design is found in the report on Recommendations on Sample Design and Estimation Methodology for the Rwanda Enquête Integrale sur les Conditions de Vie des Ménages 2005. (Megill, June 2004). A stratified two-stage sample design was used for both the EICV1 and EICV2. The primary sampling units (PSUs) were the enumeration areas or zones de dénombrement (ZDs) defined for the census. The sample of ZDs in each stratum was selected with probability proportional to size, where the measure of size was based on the number of households from the census frame. A new listing of households was conducted in each ZD, and a sample of households was selected at the second sampling stage. The units of analysis are the households and the individual members of the household. One of the objectives of EICV1 and EICV2 was to provide reliable estimates of household consumption and other Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions de Vie des Ménages 2005-2006 - Overview

characteristics at the level of the 12 old provinces, as well as at the national level, City of Kigali, other urban and rural. Later the country was divided into five new provinces; given the larger size of the new provinces, the corresponding estimates will have better precision than those at the old provincial level. Stratification The stratification of the sampling frame for both EICV1 and EICV2 was designed to improve the efficiency of the sample design and ensure a sufficient sample size for the major geographic domains of analysis. The sampling frame for these surveys was stratified by the 12 old provinces, as well as by urban and rural areas. At the national level three residential strata were defined: (1) City of Kigali, (2) other urban, and (3) rural. In the case of EICV1, the ZDs in the urban and rural strata for each province were ordered geographically to provide a corresponding implicit stratification. In the case of the City of Kigali, there is a higher variability in socioeconomic characteristics compared to the other domains. Therefore a socioeconomic stratification was defined for the ZDs in the EICV2 sampling frame for the City of Kigali, using an indicator of bien-être (well-being) based on housing characteristics in the 2002 Rwanda Census data. The ZDs were coded by four socioeconomic quartiles, and this was used as a sorting variable to provide a corresponding implicit stratification. A new stratification code for "semi-rural" was introduced into the sampling frame for EICV2 to identify urban ZDs with at least 70 percent of households with agricultural operations (based on the 2002 Rwanda Census data). This "semi-rural" code was used as one of the sorting criteria for the sampling frame of the City of Kigali and the other urban stratum in each province. Within each stratum, the ZDs in the sampling frame were further sorted geographically to provide an additional level of implicit stratification. Given that the rural economy is primarily agricultural, the socioeconomic characteristics of the rural households are generally correlated with the crop and livestock activities found in the different bio-climatic zones. Therefore the EICV2 sampling frame for rural strata was sorted by the ten bio-climatic zones as well as geographic codes to provide an effective implicit stratification. Sample size and allocation The sample size for EICV1 and EICV2 was determined by the precision required for the survey estimates for each domain, as well as by the resource and operational constraints. The total sample size for EICV1 was 570 ZDs and 6,450 households. For EICV2 this sample size was increased to 620 ZDs and 6,900 households, in order to provide a larger sample for the urban strata. One reason for increasing the urban sample for EICV2 was because of the expansion of urban areas following the 2002 Rwanda Census. The effective sample size for EICV1 was actually 6,420 households, since 30 non-interviews were not replaced for this survey. Given that one of the objectives of these surveys was to produce reliable estimates for each of the 12 old provinces, a total of 40 sample rural ZDs was allocated to each province. A larger sample was allocated to the City of Kigali because of the larger variability of socioeconomic characteristics; 80 sample ZDs were selected in this domain for EICV1 and 100 ZDs for EICV2. In the case of the other urban strata, a sample of 50 ZDs for EICV1 and 80 ZDs for EICV2 were allocated to the 11 other provinces proportionately to their urban population. Table A.1 presents the distribution of the sample for EICV1, and Table A.2 shows the corresponding distribution for EICV2. For EICV1 the number of households selected per sample ZD was 9 for the City of Kigali and the other urban stratum, and 12 for the rural stratum. This was an effective sampling strategy given that the urban strata generally have more variability between ZDs and homogeneity of households within ZDs. This approach also provided a reasonable workload for the enumerators in the urban and rural ZDs based on the data collection procedures each cycle. Therefore this same sampling strategy was used for EICV2. Sample Selection Procedures For both EICV1 and EICV2 the ZDs within each stratum were selected systematically with probability proportional to size, where the measure of size was based on the number of households in the ZD from the corresponding census frame (1991 for EICV1 and 2002 for EICV2). Following a new listing of households in the sample ZDs, at the second stage 9 sample households were selected systematically in each sample urban ZD and 12 sample households were selected in each rural ZD. This sampling strategy provided an approximately self-weighting sample (that is, the sampling weights were similar) within each stratum. A sample of possible replacement households was also selected systematically within each sample ZD.
