Ethiopia Socioeconomic Survey - Wave 1, 2 and 3 (ESS1/ESS2/ESS3)

Sample details

The ESS aims to collect multi-topic panel household-level data with a special focus on improving agriculture statistics and the link between agriculture and other household income activities in Ethiopia. The sample of ESS1 (formerly known as ERSS) included 4,000 households in rural areas that underwent baseline interviews from 2011 to 2012. This sample was followed up for ESS2 in 2013 to 2014 with the addition of 1,500 urban households in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. All households were followed up in ESS3 from 2015 to 2016.
