| Summary: | On October 15, 2015, World Bank Group
President Jim Yong Kim announced the World Bank Group’s
commitment to support the 78 poorest countries to implement
a multi-topic household survey every three years between
2016 and 2030, for monitoring progress toward ending extreme
poverty and boosting shared prosperity. This paper estimates
the resource requirements to achieve the objectives of
implementing 390 surveys across 78 International Development
Association countries from 2016 to 2030, and providing
direct technical assistance to the national statistical
offices on all facets of survey design, implementation, and
dissemination toward timely production of quality household
survey data. The approach to the costing exercise is unique,
as it makes use of detailed data on actual survey
implementation and technical assistance costs from a group
of countries, unlike previous attempts at costing household
survey data gaps. The required total budget, in accordance
with the survey design features recommended by the World
Bank Household Survey Strategy, is estimated at US$945
million for the period of 2016-2030. Of this, US$692 million
is projected to cover the survey implementation costs across
78 countries, and US$253 million is projected to cover the
costs of direct technical assistance to be provided to the
national statistical offices. |
