Living Standards Measurement Study [hh/lsms]
This is the second Kyrgyz Poverty Monitoring Survey (KMPS). A Multipurpose Poverty Survey (KMPS) was conducted in October and November 1993 with a sample of about 2,000 households and 10,000 members of those households. The 1993 KMPS survey was designed to be a nationally representative survey of living standards in the Kyrgyz Republic during the second half of 1993. After the 1993 KMPS, a Social Safety Net (SSN) project was launched in the Kyrgyz Republic. This SSN project had a Poverty Monitoring Component (PMC) which includes conducting an annual Kyrgyz Poverty Monitoring Survey (KPMS) for four years, 1996-1999.
The main purpose of these surveys is to provide data for the study of multiple aspects of household welfare and behaviour, analysis of poverty, and understanding the effect of government policies on households. The task of conducting these surveys and overall coordination of project activities was given to the National Statistical Committee (NATSTATCOM) of the Kyrgyz Republic with technical assistance from Research Triangle Institute (RTI) based in the United States. The first KPMS data collection was completed during the months of February and March (Spring) 1996 using the same survey questionnaires as the 1993 survey. After that NATSTATCOM decided that survey data would be collected during the Fall season and as a result the remaining KPMS were carried out during the months of October and November (Fall) of 1996, 1997 and 1998. The questionnaires used in KPMS were more or less similar. The Fall 1996 (second) KPMS added an Employment Module on the household questionnaire used earlier (Spring 1996). The 1997 (third) KPMS added questions on Family Planning to the Female Health Module. The 1998 (Fourth) KPMS used a similar questionnaire to that of the 1997, but with an extended agricultural module.

Sampling
In order to expedite the survey process, NATSTATCOM used much of the same sample design and survey instruments as those used for the 1993 Baseline Survey. However, the Fall 1996-1998 KPMS surveys used a new sampling frame based on the Kyrgyz Household Registration System. This system was taken from the Census Posts intended for use by the first National Census of the Kyrgyz Republic. Using this system, NATSTATCOM updated the central household registration files effective January 1, 1996, and the information that was used for the sampling frame was as up to date as possible. The procedures followed in the stratification and identification of Primary Sampling Units (PSUs) were similar for all rounds of the KPMS as discussed below. Formation of Strata Initially the country was divided into seven (7) strata defined by oblasts (Oblasts are administrative divisions of the country which in turn are sub-divided in to Rayons) and by residence location (i.e. urban vs. rural) within oblasts. The rural portion of Bishkek oblast was combined with the rural portion of neighbouring Chui oblast for stratification purposes as Bishkek has practically no rural population.
In analysing the PMS datasets, there are two weighting variables that should be used to extrapolate results nationally. These variables are 'Weight' and 'Expansion Factor' and are included in the consumption/expenditure aggregates of the 1997 and 1998 PMS datasets. The 1996 expenditure aggregate does not have these variables, but average comparative weighting factors can be derived using the inverse of the sampling rate. Weight is a variable derived as a product of household size multiplied by the expansion factor and it is used for household level variables. Expansion factor is a variable that is used for individual level variables.

Data appraisal
There are no significant data quality problems, but the following deserve mentioning.
i) Reproductive health/Nutrition Module (section 8): There are many missing observations in this section of the data. During the data collection stage, there was a restriction that only up to 3 (three) adult women (14 to 49 years of age) per household can be interviewed for this section, but even with this restriction, the number of observations with valid data is very low.
ii) Information on parents of household members (section 1B): The ID codes for the Father or Mother of household members in this section are mostly incorrect. The interviewers in most cases used the code for 'relationship to the head of the household' and entered the value of '5' - i.e. they copied the values of question 3 of section 1A (Roster) instead of copying the ID codes of the Fathers/Mothers of household members from that section.
iii) Anthropometric data (section 15): The anthropometric data are also not very reliable. The height variable varies significantly because in some places it was recorded in inches and in others in Centimetres.
