| Sumario: | The 2023 USAID/IFPRI Population-Based Survey (PBS) for Khatlon Province, Tajikistan, is a collaborative data collection effort led by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Tajik Academy of Agricultural Sciences (TAAS). This survey was designed as a panel dataset linked to the 2015 Interim Zone of Influence (ZOI) Survey, with the aim of capturing household livelihood characteristics in the study area. Both the 2023 PBS and the 2015 Interim ZOI Survey collect detailed data on community, household, and individual characteristics of respondents.
In total, the 2023 PBS covers 2,000 households. The survey employed two types of questionnaires:
A household-level questionnaire, administered to any knowledgeable household member; and
An individual-level questionnaire, administered privately to one randomly selected male and one randomly selected female household member.
Unlike the 2015 survey, the 2023 survey did not specifically target the main male and female decision-makers in the household. Enumerators successfully completed the household-level questionnaire for all 2,000 households across 99 villages, consistent with the survey sample design. However, they encountered challenges in administering the individual-level questionnaire to the selected respondents. As a result, the individual-level dataset includes interviews with 535 male respondents and 1,170 female respondents.
