Niger - Data in Emergencies (DIEM) Monitoring System - Household Survey 2022

The FAO has developed a monitoring system in 26 food crisis countries to better understand the impacts of various shocks on agricultural livelihoods, food security and local value chains. The Monitoring System consists of primary data collected from households on a periodic basis (more or less every four months, depending on seasonality). The FAO conducted a household survey between 13 July and 13 August 2022 to assess agricultural livelihoods and food security in Niger. Data were collected through a telephone survey in all regions of Niger (Agadez, Diffa, Dosso, Maradi, Tahoua, Tillabéry and Zinder), with the exception of the urban community of Niamey. Between 231 and 335 households were sampled in each region, equalling 1 999 households interviewed in total. Weights were calculated based on population size and post-stratifications (access to drinking water and household agricultural activities). Data collection took place during the rainy season.
