as part of the IFPRI-Egypt Seminar Series- funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) project called “Evaluating Impact and Building Capacity” (EIBC) that is implemented by IFPRI.
3. Introduction
CAPMAS is the main and the official source for data in Egypt.
Always seeks to Cooperate with ministres and several
international organizations like UNICEF , FAO , UN , and many
other important agencies .
This is in order to help policy and decision makers to assign
the right and suitable plans.
CAPMAS conduct several survey which include a huge
variety of data , which can be used to have important
indicators that will reflect the situation of the population
and society from different aspects.
4. Household Income, Expenditure &
Consumption Survey
Methodology
• Sampling
• Reference Period
Data
Collection
• Using Questionnaire
• Using Laptop
5. Household Income, Expenditure &
Consumption Survey
Sample design :
Stratified 2 stage cluster sample , with cluster size 20
HH .where 45% of it represents the percentage of
households in urban regions, while 55% represents the
percentage of households in rural regions.

8. Household Income, Expenditure &
Consumption Survey
CAPMAS always seeks to improve its surveys and update the
questionniares.
The consumption and Expenditure form was improved to monitor the real
life of the household, not only in terms of economic aspects but the social
aspects also.
CAPMAS changed the consumption questionnaire, for example there were
around 300 (food & Drink) item but now it became 1000 (food & Drink)
item
Now , The focus will be on Income & consumption forms because There
data allow extracting the following:
Indicators for measuring food diversity
Measure the amount of food
Measuring the nutritional status of children (stunting, thinness and
underweight)
Strategies to overcome food shortages

counterparts. The prevalence of poor access to food increases to 38.7% in rural
Upper Egypt, compared to 16.3% in Urban Upper Egypt,

Percent of Population
Sufficient Food Cons Borderline Insufficient food cons.
• 23.4% percent of households reported that they could barely meet their basic food
needs, and 4.7 percent reported insufficient access to food.
• Urban governorates and Rural Upper Egypt have the highest prevalence of
households reporting insufficient food consumption in 2015 (8.1% and 7.1%
respectively).
Overall, the percent of poor population reporting insufficient or borderline food
consumption increased during 2013-2015, from 34.6% to 45.6%, indicating the growing
gap between what poor households actually consume and what they perceive as
minimum level of food consumption
