South Sudan - 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 launched a household survey in South Sudan through the DIEM-Monitoring System to monitor agricultural livelihoods and food security. Data were conducted through face-to-face surveys in all ten states of South Sudan: Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei, Lakes, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Unity, Upper Nile, Warrap, Western Bahr el Ghazal and Western Equatoria. A total of 3 090 households were surveyed between 27 May and 29 July 2022. All ten states surpassed the targeted sample size of 270 households per state. However, 17 households were dropped based on data quality issues.
