Series Information
The Census of Agriculture (CA) 2015 is the fifth CA carried out in Cabo Verde. The previous CAs were conducted in 1963, 1978, 1988 and 2004.
Abstract
The implementation of the Fifth General Census of Agriculture 2015 i.e. Recenseamento Geral da Agricultura (RGA-2015) is a the country's national priority in agricultural statistics. It falls within the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics 2012-2016 i.e. Estratégia Nacional de Desenvolvimento das Estatísticas (ENDE). It also takes into account the recommendations of the FAO, an entity of the UN System United Nations coordinator for agricultural statistics. The CA process will follow the FAO methodological framework (FAO, WCA 2010), which consists of a collection of the structural data of the agricultural sector which will serve as the sampling frame, being exhaustive and representative at the level of the municipalities. The aim of the CA 2015 is to provide an effective and efficient response to the needs of data on agricultural statistics which will make it possible to make available statistical information for the monitoring of national policy, the respect of the national and international commitments and the satisfaction of the needs of the different users. For these objectives to be achieved, it is necessary that there is a broad awareness and participation of the population and organisation at all levels.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
i. Methodological modality for conducting the census
A modular approach was adopted for conducting the CA. The core module was implemented in 2015. The supplementary modules (on "rain-fed crop production" and "food security") were implemented in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

ii. Frame
The listing operation to identify the agricultural holdings was conducted during the census enumeration. The core module provided the frame for the follow-up supplementary modules.

iii. Sample design
A two-stage sampling design was used for supplementary modules. The EAs were the PSUs and the households were the SSUs.

Data Collection Mode
Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]
Data Collection Notes
The Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) and tablets had built-in GPS. Special effort was made to georeference and measure all irrigated parcels.

Questionnaires

Questionnaires
Two types of questionnaires were used for the core module, for the holdings in:

(i) the household sector

(ii) the non-household sector

Other two questionnaires (on "rain-fed crop production" and "food security") were used for the supplementary modules conducted in 2017-2018. The CA questionnaires covered 15 of the 16 core items4 recommended for the WCA 2010 round. All questionnaires are attached to external documents.

Data Processing

Data Editing
i. ENTRY
A computer application was developed by the INS for data collection and processing. Core census module data were processed by the INS, in collaboration with the MAA and transmitted for tabulation and dissemination to the MAA.

i. CENSUS DATA QUALITY
Quality checks were conducted by supervisors to assess the enumerators' work and to ensure the quality of census data. Consistency checks were incorporated into the data entry program to minimize data entry errors, inconsistencies and incomplete data. The use of CAPI enabled monitoring the mobility of the enumerators in the field.
