Living Standards Measurement Study [hh/lsms]
The Burkina Faso Harmonized Survey on Households Living Standards (EHCVM, Enquête Harmonisée sur le Conditions de Vie des Ménages) 2021-2022 is the cross-sectional component of the second edition of a nationally representative household survey conducted within the West Africa Economic Monetary Union (WAEMU) Household Survey Harmonization Project (P153702), a joint program by the World Bank and the WAEMU Commission that aims at producing household survey data in member countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, Cote d'Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo). The EHCVM 2021/2022 is based on a sample of households from a new sampling frame compared to the first edition, namely the EHCVM 2018/2019, and it includes a total of 7176 households.
The EHCVM 2021/2022 is implemented by the National Institute of Statistics and Demography (INSD, Institut National de la Statistique et de la Démographie) with support from the World Bank and the WAEMU Commission. The objective of the program is to strengthen the capacity of INSD to conduct living conditions surveys that meet harmonized, regional standards and to make the collected micro-data publicly accessible.
The survey uses two main survey instruments: a household/individual questionnaire, and a community-level questionnaire. The cross-sectional survey took place in two waves, with each wave covering half of the sample. The first wave was carried out between September 2021 and November 2021, while the second wave occurred between April 2022 and June 2022. The two-wave approach was chosen to account for the seasonality of consumption.

Sampling
The sampling frame of the EHCVM 2021/2022 consisted of a list of all enumeration areas (EAs) from the General Population and Housing Census 2019. In the first stage, 600 EAs were selected proportionally based on their size in terms of the number of households derived from the mapping. In the second stage, a sample of 7200 households, namely 12 households per EA, were selected using equal probability sampling in each enumeration area. The final size of the panel sample was 7176 households, of which 3585 were interviewed in the first wave and 3591 in the second wave.
Survey instrument
The EHCVM 2021/2022 consists of two questionnaires for each of the two visits. The household questionnaire was administered to all households in the sample. The community questionnaire was administered to the community to collect information on the socio-economic indicators of EAs where the sample households reside.
Household Questionnaire: The household questionnaire provides information on demographics; education; health; employment (including activity-related information, primary and secondary employments); non-job revenues; saving and credit (including information for payments due for 15 years old members of the household); food consumption; food security; non-food consumption; non-agricultural enterprises; housing; household's assets; transfers (received and sent); shocks and survival strategies (including information on Covid-19 impacts); safety nets; agriculture (including information on plots, costs of inputs, and crops); livestock; fishing; agricultural equipment; and a module that provides indicators to helps users situate the household on the poverty spectrum based on subjective considerations and comparative indicators.
Community Questionnaire: The community questionnaire solicits information on general community's characteristics; community access to infrastructure and to social services; community agricultural activity; community participation; and local retail price information.
