Series Information
The Feed the Future Interim Supplemental Survey (FTFISS) was developed to measure and elaborate on consumption habits in Tanzania, and to provide a more comprehensive view of the food security situation in the country as additional information gathered in the Tanzania National Panel Survey (NPS).
Abstract
Feed the Future is a global hunger and food security initiative which aims to refocus attention on addressing the root causes of global food insecurity, including agricultural development and nutrition. Led by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), this initiative reflects a coordinated focus on building productive, resilient agricultural systems throughout 19 countries in need, including Tanzania. Emphasis is placed on smallholder farmers and women in particular who are making progress towards the development of sustainable agriculture sectors. As food security plays a critical role in poverty reduction, Feed the Future has been made a primary development assistance tool in the reduction of poverty. In Tanzania, Feed the Future efforts are focused on improving agricultural productivity and market access, increasing trade, and improving the nutritional status of children through promotion of fortified foods and behaviour change. For maximum impact, the Feed the Future initiative has targeted its investments in six regions in the country considered to be the Zone of Influence (ZOI): Dodoma, Manyara, Morogoro, Mbeya, Iringa, and all three areas of Unguja in Zanzibar. The Feed the Future Interim Supplemental Survey (FTFISS) was developed to measure and elaborate on consumption habits in Tanzania, and to provide a more comprehensive view of the food security situation in the country. Additionally, this project provides a valuable opportunity to expand upon food security information gathered in the Tanzania National Panel Survey (NPS), as questionnaire themes in the FTFISS were modelled to reflect those topics considered central to the comprehension of food security. To further enhance value of this expansion, only NPS households residing in the ZOI regions targeted by the Feed the Future initiative were chosen to participate in the FTFISS project. NPS households in these six regions were tracked and re-interviewed following conclusion of the 2014/2015 NPS. The 2014/2015 NPS was the fourth round in a series of nationally representative household panel surveys that collect information on a wide range of topics including agricultural production, non-farm income generating activities, consumption expenditures, and a wealth of other socio-economic characteristics. All four rounds of the NPS were implemented by the Tanzania National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) with assistance provided by the World Bank through the Living Standards Measurement Study - Integrated Surveys on Agriculture [LSMS-ISA ] program.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
NPS households in the regions of Dodoma, Manyara, Morogoro, Mbeya, Iringa, and all three areas of Unguja in Zanzibar were included in the FTFISS sample. These regions were selected as they mirror the six ZOI regions targeted by the Feed the Future initiative. For purposes of the FTFISS, a household is defined as people who live together, share the same meal, and contribute to the household income and also basic needs. In other words, residents of a household share the same centre of production and consume from that centre. Even those persons who are not blood relations (such as servants, lodgers, or agricultural laborers) are members of the household if they have stayed in the household at least 3 months of the past 6 months. In cases where the household had no female members, the household was not considered eligible for the FTFISS and was not interviewed to completion. The resulting sample size of eligible households for the first FTFISS was 727 households.

Data Processing
Data Editing
The FTFISS contains a robust quality assurance and data management system, assuring proper data collection as well as respondent eligibility. Great effort was placed on the development and utilization of this system with technical assistance from the World Bank. Data files were sent to the study headquarters, and regular checks were performed to ensure the fieldwork was proceeding according to the schedule and that quality standards were met.
Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
As with the NPS, STATA was utilized to perform more complex, aggregated checks post-collection, as the final stage of data processing for FTFISS data. Adjustments of the data post-entry were conducted under the principle of absolute certainty where adjustments must be evidence based and correction values true beyond a reasonable doubt. As such, the resulting final datasets may still contain some inconsistencies and outliers. Handling of these values is thus left entirely to the data user.
