Study Type
Income/Expenditure/Household Survey Series Information
The EICV4 survey (Enquête Intégrale sur les conditions de vie des ménages) is the fourth round of Rwanda's Integrated Living Conditions surveys. The previous three rounds were conducted every five years: EICV1 (2000-2001), EICV2 (2005-2006), EICV3 (2010-2011).
Beginning with the EICV4, the NISR plans to conduct the survey every 3 years in order to follow the trends in the poverty rate and other key indicators more frequently.
Unlike the previous rounds, EICV4 also, for the first time, includes a panel sample (selected from the EICV3) and a VUP sample selected from beneficiary households, in addition to the main sample.

Abstract
The EICV4 survey (Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions de Vie des ménages) was conducted over a 12-month cycle from October 2013 to October 2014. Data collection was divided into 10 cycles in order to represent seasonality in the income and consumption data. A main cross-sectional sample survey, a panel survey and a VUP sample survey were conducted simultaneously.
The EICV4 provides information on poverty and living conditions in Rwanda and measures changes over time as part of the on-going monitoring of the Poverty Reduction Strategy and other Government policies. The survey data are also very important for national accounts and updating the consumer price index (CPI).
