Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
This Vulnerability and Poverty Transition Survey is the first round of a 2 round survey conducted in 2009.
Poverty dynamics enables a better appreciation of the extent of poverty over time by distinguishing between households exiting and entering into poverty, those never poor and the persistently poor. However, it has not received much attention in the poverty literature in Nigeria, largely due to the lack of nationally representative panel data that track the poverty status of households over time.
This survey intends to provide indicators for tracking the welfare status of rural households overtime as well as identify the factors influencing this status for potent policy prescriptions.

Sampling
The frame for the study was the demarcated Enumeration Area (EA) maps produced by National Population Commission for the 2006 Housing and Population Census. These EAs used are part of the ones usually used by National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) for her regular household-based surveys.
A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted for this study for the selection of respondents. The first stage was a random selection of two states of Oyo and Osun from the six states that make-up the Southwest geo-political zone of the country. The second stage involved the random selection of three local government areas (LGAs) from each of the selected state. The third stage was the random selection of ten rural enumeration areas (EAs) from each of the selected LGA. The final stage of the sampling was the systematic selection of ten households from the households listed in each selected EA. Hence, in each state 300 households were interviewed giving a total of 600 households in the two selected states canvassed for the study in the first period but only 582 households could be re-interviewed in the second round. Data from these 582 households were used for analysis in this study.

Interviewing was conducted by teams of interviewers. Each interviewing team comprised of 3 interviewers with one of the members doubling as a supervisor. The role of the supervisor was primarily to coordinate field data collection activities.
A training of enumerators was held to familiarize the enumerators with the questionnaire. Each intervewing team comprised of 3 interviewers. A total of 18 interviewers were used. Data collection took place over a period of about 2 weeks from March 4 , 2009 to March 20, 2009. Interviewers on average took about 10-15 minutes to fill the questionnaire. Interviews were conducted primarily in Yoruba since most of the rural household heads did not speak English.
