Note: An original version of the DDI was done after the survey and hosted on a NESSTAR server.

Overview
Abstract
The HLCS, with an expanded budgets and consumption module, was primarily intended to provide policy planners and decision-makers with basic data on household living standards in Rwanda.
In addition, the survey was to be used to:
- Calculate weights for the Consumer Price Index and estimate final household consumption,
- measure the effect of macro-economic policies and projects on the conditions and living
standards of the population,
- produce key indicators of household welfare in order to assist policy-makers and development
partners to improve the design of their development strategy,
- identify policy target groups with a view to ensuring that state interventions are better targeted.
- provide information on the socio-economic characteristics of households with a view to setting
up a socio-economic data base.
- carry out in-depth studies, for example on poverty, nutrition, housing conditions, etc,
- improve the national capability to conduct statistical surveys, however complex they may be.

Scope
Notes
The information gathered during the survey will be used primarily to provide information on assorted household and personal level characteristics which can be analyzed vis a vis the household's consumption. The primary household and person characteristics that are gathered in this survey in order to provide relevant indicators are:
-School attendance and literacy. This includes information to compute net and gross enrollment rates
-Health and fertility. Some indicators such as maternal mortality are outside the scope of the survey. In this case, a more appropriate survey like the DHS may be recommended
-Migration
-Employment and economic activity.
-Land ownership and other agricultural based indicators.
The survey is also designed to provide important information for the computation of National Accounts and rebasing the Consumer Price Index.
