• Share information on existing socio-economic data, with innovative features
• Address data gaps on people, socio-economics – without duplicating efforts (“not as easily observables as forests are”)
• Possible uses – Baseline on socio-economics, monitor change – Derive/calibrate parameters for models – Study household/community heterogeneity – Understand micro incentives behaviors, outcomes – Monitoring not enough: Evaluate interventions, policies
Why does it matter for you?
• Living Standard Measurement Study (LSMS) surveys key tool for national poverty and socio-economic data collection since 1980s
• Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (-ISA) add-on with specific ag focus (2008- )
• Country-owned, nationally representative • Monitor, but more importantly understand,
analyze • Multi-topic, household-level and community data • Typically every 3-5 years
Key features of LSMS surveys
• Focus on methodological development – Forest module with FAO, CIFOR, IFRI, etc. – Soil testing (ICRAF)
• Use of technology – GPS for households and plots (area) – Concurrent field-based data entry – Computer Assisted Personal Interviews (CAPI)
• Open data • Gender-disaggregated data • Panel (longitudinal)
