The surveys will generate a unique panel data set from repeated surveys of a total of 5,000 households. The database project will serve as the point of departure of the empirical analysis of vulnerability to poverty by base project 1 and the three special projects. Using a joint questionnaire information on the households’ socio-economic status, their resource base, various income generating activities, including on-farm, off-farm and non-farm enterprises and activities, a household’s sources of finance, risk related factors and local and distant non-farm employment and income generating opportunities will be elicited.

Another contribution will be to improve the survey methods in close cooperation with base project 1 develop a comprehensive, set of indicators for assessing vulnerability to poverty Shared access to this database will be administered through a web service specially established for the purpose.
