Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey
IFPRI designed the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS) to created a baseline for the Feed the Future (FTF) zone in southern Bangladesh. This carefully collected data will be a point of reference against which the FTF progress can be measured. The survey will be repeated for mid-term and end-line evaluation of FTF. In addition, this nationally representative survey provides an integrated data platform to carry out a variety of studies with policy implications for food security and agricultural development. BIHS has been approved and facilitated by the Government of Bangladesh (Ministry of Food) BIHS sample is:
nationally representative of rural Bangladesh representative of rural areas of each of the 7 administrative divisions of the country representative of the FTF Zone of Influence
BIHS started in October 2011 and ended in March 2012

BIHS Sampling
The sampling process and survey administration included the following steps:
Listed all villages in each of the stratum (7 divisions and the FtF zone of influence)
In each stratum, randomly selected villages (PSUs) with probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling using the number of households in the 2001 population census data
Conducted complete census in each of the 325 selected villages
Randomly selected 20 households from each village from census list
Male and female enumerators interviewed, respectively, male and female respondents of each selected household.
3
Sampling of FTF Stratum
Over-sampled the FTF zone of influence in the BIHS sampling frame to make the sample statistically representative of the FTF zone
102 primary sampling units (villages) belong to each of the 20 FTF districts
Conducted complete census in 102 villages; randomly selected 20 households from each village
Total FTF sample size: 2,040 households; 8,364 persons
4
BIHS Modules
Household demographic composition, education attainment and cost, occupation and employment, dwelling characteristics, assets, credit and savings, migration and remittances, nonfarm enterprises, safety net participation
Landownership and tenure; agricultural production, input use and costs (plot-level data); livestock, poultry and fisheries production practices; marketing practices and revenues
Food and nonfood expenditures
Dietary intakes of individual household members
Health and morbidity, child care, water and sanitation
Anthropometric measurements of all household members
Infant & child feeding practices, immunization, nutrition awareness, care during pregnancy
Data to construct Women Empowerment in Agriculture Index
Survey Administration
For implementing the BIHS, IFPRI engaged the Data Analysis and Technical Assistance Limited (DATA), a Bangladeshi consulting firm with expertise in conducting complex surveys and data analysis. DATA’s capacity to conduct surveys to collect high-quality data was largely built by IFPRI over the past 18 years. DATA works under the supervision and guidance of senior IFPRI researchers.
DATA provided 140 experienced enumerators (70 female and 70 male) and 20 supervisors (3 female and 17 male) to administer the BIHS.
The training of the survey enumerators consisted of a formal classroom component as well as closely monitored practice fieldwork. The training was conducted by IFPRI researchers and senior DATA staff.
IFPRI and DATA took much care to ensure the quality of the household survey data. IFPRI researchers made frequent field visits to supervise the fieldwork.
