2023 USAID/IFPRI Population-Based Survey (PBS) for Khatlon Province, Tajikistan

The 2023 USAID/IFPRI Population-Based Survey (PBS) for Khatlon Province, Tajikistan, is a collaborative data collection effort led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Tajik Academy of Agricultural Sciences (TAAS). This survey was designed as a panel dataset linked to the 2015 Interim Zone of Influence (ZOI) Survey, with the aim of capturing household livelihood characteristics in the study area. Both the 2023 PBS and the 2015 Interim ZOI Survey collect detailed data on community, household, and individual characteristics of respondents. In total, the 2023 PBS covers 2,000 households. The survey employed two types of questionnaires: A household-level questionnaire, administered to any knowledgeable household member; and An individual-level questionnaire, administered privately to one randomly selected male and one randomly selected female household member. Unlike the 2015 survey, the 2023 survey did not specifically target the main male and female decision-makers in the household. Enumerators successfully completed the household-level questionnaire for all 2,000 households across 99 villages, consistent with the survey sample design. However, they encountered challenges in administering the individual-level questionnaire to the selected respondents. As a result, the individual-level dataset includes interviews with 535 male respondents and 1,170 female respondents.2023年美国国际开发署（United States Agency for International Development，简称USAID）/国际粮食政策研究所（International Food Policy Research Institute，简称IFPRI）牵头的塔吉克斯坦哈特隆州人口基础调查（Population-Based Survey，简称PBS），是由国际粮食政策研究所（IFPRI）与塔吉克斯坦农业科学院（Tajik Academy of Agricultural Sciences，简称TAAS）合作开展的数据采集项目。本调查为与2015年临时影响区（Zone of Influence，简称ZOI）调查相关联的面板数据集，旨在采集研究区域内的家庭生计特征信息。2023年PBS与2015年临时ZOI调查均采集了受访者所在社区、家庭及个体特征的详细数据。2023年PBS共计覆盖99个村庄的2000户家庭。本次调查采用两类问卷：一是面向任意熟悉家庭情况的成员发放的家庭层面问卷；二是私下向随机抽取的1名男性与1名女性家庭成员发放的个体层面问卷。与2015年的调查不同，2023年的调查并未专门针对家庭中的主要男性与女性决策者。访员已成功为99个村庄的全部2000户家庭完成家庭层面问卷的访谈，这与本次调查的抽样设计要求一致。但访员在向抽选的受访者发放个体层面问卷时遇到了困难，最终个体层面数据集仅包含535名男性受访者与1170名女性受访者的访谈数据。
