Note

The calculations at the level of Household reflect the responses of the Household head in all Sections except section 4 on Food Security.

Indeed Food Security indicators at HH level were calculated based on the response of the Woman of the household. If for any reason a women could not be surveyed in a hh, then this hh is not considered in the analysis.

Adopting Households are defined as households where any of the members responded Yes to the question: “During the last 12 months, were [CSA practice X] implemented in your household/farm?”

Non-Adopting Households are defined as households where all the members surveyed responded NO to the question: “During the last 12 months, were [CSA practice X] implemented in your household/farm?”
