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 launched an eighth round of DIEM household survey in Zimbabwe to monitor agricultural livelihoods and food security. This survey is representative at admin 1 level (Provincial level) and reached 1474 households in 8 out of 10 provinces excluding Harare and Bulawayo metropolitan provinces. Data was collected via computer-assisted telephone interviews between 12 and 29 July 2023.

Sampling
The sample was designed to provide representative estimates at Admin 1 (provincial) level. Eight out of 10 provinces, excluding Harare and Bulawayo metropolitan provinces, were surveyed.
A fixed number of 160 agricultural households were targeted at the provincial level and quotas were set on agricultural households following the proportion observed in the population. This resulted in a sample target of 1280 agricultural households.
Variable targets for non-agricultural households were set following the proportion observed in the population, which resulted in a sample target of 161 non-agricultural households.
Actual samples for agricultural and non-agricultural households were1306 and 168, respectively. Samples for crop and livestock producers were 1160 and 831, respectively.
The sample design and size aim to achieve a 10 percent margin of error, a 95 percent confidence level, administrative-level granularity, and sufficient sample sizes for key variables within target populations, including agricultural households.
Three types of weights were calculated to ensure that the survey results accurately reflect the structure of the population:
-base weights to correct for selection probabilities,
-quota weights to adjust the sample to match the share of agricultural versus non-agricultural households, and
-wealth weights where “access to electricity” was used as a proxy for household wealth.
These were combined to produce the final weight at the admin 1 level.
