Assessment of the COVID-19 Pandemic Impact on Agriculture and Food Security in Tajikistan

This dataset comprises household farm survey data gathered through a phone-based survey in 2020 to generate insights on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rural farm households in Tajikistan. Data collection occurred between September and October 2020 across 12 districts in southwest Khatlon, part of USAID’s Zone of Influence. The sample includes 1,200 households—1,047 of which were part of the baseline survey from IFPRI's 2018 Assessment of Nutrition-Sensitive Value Chains in the Feed the Future Zone of Influence, with an additional 153 new households added due to attrition. Households were randomly selected from the baseline survey’s respondent roster, but the sample is not intended to be representative of the Zone of Influence. The survey's questionnaire covers a range of topics at the household level, including household composition, income, expenditures, migration, mobility, dietary diversity, and intrahousehold relationships, with a strong emphasis on agriculture. The agriculture module focuses on changes in household participation in agricultural activities, land use, access to and costs of inputs, male and female labor, machinery, market access, and information.

本数据集包含2020年通过电话调研采集的农户家庭调查数据，旨在探究新冠疫情（COVID-19）对塔吉克斯坦农村农户的影响。数据采集于2020年9月至10月间，覆盖哈特隆州西南部12个区县，该区域属于美国国际开发署（USAID）影响力覆盖区。本次调研样本共包含1200户家庭：其中1047户来自国际粮食政策研究所（IFPRI）2018年针对“未来粮食倡议”（Feed the Future）影响力覆盖区开展的营养敏感型价值链评估的基线调查，另有153户因调研对象流失而新增的家庭。样本家庭从基线调查的受访者名单中随机抽取，但本样本并非为反映该影响力覆盖区的整体情况而设计。本次调研问卷涵盖多维度家庭层面议题，包括家庭结构、收入与支出、移民与人口流动、膳食多样性及家庭内部关系，并重点关注农业相关内容。农业模块则聚焦农户参与农业活动的变化、土地利用情况、农资获取途径与成本、男女劳动力配置、农业机械、市场准入及信息获取等内容。
