Survey Background The monitoring of living conditions and poverty in Zambia by the Central Statistical Office (CSO) began in 1991. Prior to the current series of living conditions monitoring surveys, the CSO conducted two (2) household surveys namely, the Social Dimensions of Adjustment Priority Surveys (PSI)of 1991 and (PSII) of 1993. The Living Conditions Monitoring Surveys (LCMS) evolved from these two surveys. So far, five (5) Living Conditions Monitoring Surveys have been conducted. These are: - (i) The Living Conditions Monitoring Survey I of 1996 (ii) The Living Conditions Monitoring Survey II of 1998 (iii) The Living Conditions Monitoring Survey III of 2002/2003 (iv) The Living Conditions Monitoring Survey IV of 2004 (v) The Living Conditions Monitoring Survey V of 2006 In the year 2002/2003, a different type of Living Conditions Monitoring Survey (LCMSIII) was conducted. This is a longitudinal type where expenditures and revenues of the survey household were collected over a period of 12 months and using the diary method. This type of survey is planned to be undertaken periodically in order to provide data to update the Consumer Price Index weights and also to provide comprehensive household consumption data. The LCMSs are planned to be undertaken regularly in order to show levels and changes in living conditions and poverty in Zambia. 1.1. Purpose of the Surveys The Living Conditions Monitoring Surveys are intended to highlight and monitor the living conditions of the population in Zambia. The surveys include a set of priority indicators on poverty and living conditions that are repeated regularly. The Living Conditions Monitoring Surveys describe the living conditions as good or bad, as improving or deteriorating and identifying those which require policy action. The surveys provide a basis on which to: - Monitor the impact of government policies on the well-being of the population in Zambia. Monitor poverty in Zambia. Provide various users with a set of reliable indicators against which to monitor development. Identify vulnerable groups in society and enhance targeting in policy implementation.
