Togo: INSEED carries survey to assess impact of money transfers on households' living standards

(Togo First) - On November 19, 2018, Togo’s national statistics, economic and demographic institute (INSEED) will complete a survey, started last October 18, on living standards of households that benefit from the money transfer program launched by the ministry of grassroot development in 37 selected prefectures.

The survey falls under the Social Nets and Basic Services Project (FSB) launched by the National Agency for Support to Grassroot Development (ANADEB).

According to a statement released in relation to the study, its objective is to “collect data related to education, health, food consumption, housing, sustainable goods, activities and socio-demographic characteristics of targeted household members”.

The survey should also help gather general characteristics of the concerned localities, such as existence, functioning and accessibility of basic social services, and subsequently help proceed to community validation of households’ lists.

Initiated via ANADEB, the money transfer program is part of the social nets and community development project (PDC+). Backed by the World Bank, it aims to reduce poverty in the country’s most vulnerable areas.

Over the next three years, the number of people benefiting from this program should reach 120,000, according to President Faure Gnassingbé.
