Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed a monitoring system in 26 food crisis countries to better understand the impacts of various shocks on agricultural livelihoods, food security and local value chains. The Monitoring System consists of primary data collected from households on a periodic basis (more or less every four months, depending on seasonality). FAO conducted the fourth round of DIEM household survey in Cameroon between 20 March and 8 April 2023 to assess agricultural livelihoods and food security. Data was collected through computer-assisted telephone interviews conducted by Geopoll, an implementing partner, in seven of Cameroon's ten regions (Adamawa, East, Far-North, North, North-West, West and South-West). A sample of 1 466 households was reached.

Sampling
Data was collected through computer-assisted telephone interviews conducted by Geopoll, an implementing partner, in seven of Cameroon's ten regions (Adamawa, East, Far-North, North, North-West, West and South-West). A sample of 1 466 households was reached. Data collection took place at the end of the dry season and at the start of the short rainy season in the West and North-West regions, during the dry season in the northern regions (Adamawa, North and Far-North), and at the start of the planting season in the other regions. The survey is representative at the regional level, and the sampling plan was designed with a margin of error of 8.5 percent.
Weights were calculated on the basis of population size and a wealth indicator (access to drinking water).
