| Summary: | This brief is based on analysis of the
2011-12 household budget survey (HBS) implemented by Central
Administration for Statistics (CAS) with technical
assistance from the World Bank. The survey was conducted
during the period of September 2011 to November 2012, and
was stratified across nine regions. The sample was designed
to cover 4,805 households, but due to high non-response, it
only includes 2,476 participating households. Poverty
numbers presented in this note are not comparable with
poverty estimates for other years due to differences in the
instruments, fieldwork implementation and to some extent
sample design; and also due to differences in the
methodology for constructing welfare aggregate and the
poverty line. All regional estimates in this report should
be viewed with caution given concerns about significant
levels of nonresponse and relatively small sample sizes
within regions. CAS and the World Bank are working together
to improve the quality of future surveys. |
