It is a comprehensive enumeration of all agricultural activities in the country, including crop production, fisheries, forestry, and livestock activities. The implementation of NASC was done in two phases, the first being the Listing Phase, and the second is the Sample Survey Phase. Under the first phase, enumerators visited all the selected Enumeration Areas (EAs) across the Local Government Areas (LGAs) and listed all the farming households in the selected enumeration areas  and collected the required information. The scope of information collected under this phase includes demographic details of the holders, type of agricultural activity (crop production, fishery, poultry, or livestock), the type of produce or product (for example: rice, maize, sorghum, chicken, or cow), and the details of the contact persons. The listing exercise was conducted concurrently with the administration of a Community Questionnaire, to gather information about the general views of the communities on the agricultural and non-agricultural activities through focus group discussions.\n\nThe main objective of the listing exercise is to collect information on agricultural activities at household level in order  to provide a comprehensive frame for agricultural surveys.  The main objective of the community questionnaire is to obtain information about the perceptions of the community members on the agricultural and non-agricultural activities in the community.\n\nAdditional objectives of the overall NASC program include the following:\n\u00b7\tTo provide data to help the government at different levels in formulating policies on agriculture aimed at attaining food security and poverty alleviation\n\u00b7\tTo provide data for the proposed Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rebasing","coll_dates":[{"start":"2022-07-06","end":"2022-09-09","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Nigeria","abbreviation":"NGA"}],"geog_coverage":"Estimation domains are administrative areas from which reliable estimates are expected.

For the first time in Nigeria, the entire listing was conducted digitally. NBS secured newly demarcated digitized enumeration area (EA) maps from the National Population Commission (NPC) and utilized them for the listing exercise. This newly carved out maps served as a basis for the segmentation of the areas visited for listing exercise. With these maps, the process for identifying the boundaries of the enumeration areas  by the enumerators was seamless.\n\nThe census was carried out in all the 36 States of the Federation and FCT. Forty (40) enumeration Areas (EAs) were selected to be canvassed in each LGA, the number of EAs covered varied by state, which is a function of the number of LGAs in the state. Both urban and rural EAs were canvassed. Out of 774 LGAs in the country, 767 LGAs were covered and the remaining 7 LGAs  (4 in Imo and 3 in Borno States) were not covered due to insecurity (99% coverage).  In all, thirty thousand, nine hundred and sixty (30,960) EAs were expected to be covered nationwide but 30,546 EAs were canvassed.\n\nThe Sampling method adopted involved three levels of stratification. The objective of this was to provide representative data on every Local Government Area (LGA) in Nigeria. Thus, the LGA became the primary reporting domain for the NASC and the first level of stratification. Within each LGA, eighty (80) EAs were systematically selected and stratified into urban and rural EAs, which then formed the second level of stratification, with the 80 EAs proportionally allocated to urban and rural according to the total share of urban\/rural EAs within the LGA. These 80 EAs formed the master sample from which the main NASC sample was selected. From the 80 EAs selected across all the LGAs, 40 EAs were systematically selected per LGA to be canvassed. This additional level selection of EAs was again stratified across urban and rural areas with a target allocation of 30 rural and 10 urban EAs in each LGA. The remaining 40 EAs in each LGA from the master sample were set aside for replacement purposes in case there would be need for any inaccessible EA to be replaced.\n\nDetails of sampling procedure implemented in the NASC (LISTING COMPONENT).\nA stratified two-phase cluster sampling method was used. The sampling frame was stratified by urban\/rural criteria in each LGA (estimation domain\/analytical stratum).\n\nFirst phase: in each LGA, a total sample of 80 EAs were allocated in each strata (urban\/rural) proportionally to their number of EAs with reallocations as need be. In each stratum, the sample was selected with a Pareto probability proportional to size considering the number of households as measure of size.\n\nSecond phase: systematic subsampling of 40 EAs was done (10 in Urban and 30 in Rural with reallocations as needed, if there were fewer than 10 Urban or 30 Rural EAs in an LGA). This phase was implicitly stratified through sorting the first phase sample by geography. \nWith a total of 773 LGAs covered in the frame, the total planned sample size was 30920 EAs. However, during fieldwork 2 LGAs were unable to be covered due to insecurity and additional 4 LGAs were suspended early due to insecurity.  For the same reason, replacements of some sampled EAs were needed in many LGAs. The teams were advised to select replacement units where possible considering appurtenance to the same stratum and similarity including in terms of population size. However about 609 EAs replacement units were selected from a different stratum and were discarded from data processing and reporting.","sampling_deviation":"Out of 774 LGAs in the country, 767 LGAs were covered and the remaining 7 LGAs  (4 in Imo and 3 in Borno states) were not covered due to insecurity (99% coverage).","coll_mode":["Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]"],"research_instrument":"The NASC household listing questionnaire served as a meticulously designed instrument administered within every household to gather comprehensive data. It encompassed various aspects such as household demographics, agricultural activities including crops, livestock (including poultry), fisheries, and ownership of agricultural\/non-agricultural enterprises.\n\nThe questionnaire was structured into the following sections:\n\nSection 0: ADMINISTRATIVE IDENTIFICATION\nSection 1: BUILDING LISTING\nSection 2: HOUSEHOLD LISTING (Administered to the Head of Household or any knowledgeable adult member aged 15 years\u00a0and\u00a0above).","sources":[{"name":"","origin":"","characteristics":""}],"coll_situation":"THE TRAINING OF FIELD STAFF\n\nThe NASC training was conducted at two levels. The first level was a national level training-of-trainers (ToT), which took place at the Public Service Institute in Abuja. The training lasted for 5 days (the 20th-24th of June 2022). The last day of the training was utilized for field practice, where the trainees were taught on how to locate enumeration areas using the pointer in the Google Earth application to navigate and trace the boundaries of the EA, and collect information on the buildings and households in the EA.\n\nParticipants at the first level of training included the following:\n \u00b7 Trainers\/Monitors (National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (FMAFS) (formally Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD)) and the National Population Commission (NPC)).\n \u00b7 State Officers (NBS)\n \u00b7 Coordinators (NBS, FMAFS  AND NPC)\n \u00b7 Facilitators (NBS)\n\nThe second level training was the Training of Enumerators (ToE), which took place in all the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). There were eighty-two (82) training centers nationwide. The state-level trainings were held over a period of six days (29th of June-5th July, 2022) including five days of training, and one day of field tests.  \n\nParticipants at the state training level include the following:\n \u00b7 Enumerators\/Interviewers (NBS, FMAFS (formally FMARD), State Agriculture Development Programme (ADP), State Bureaus of Statistics\/State Statistical Agencies (SBS\/SSA)\n \u00b7 NBS State Officers\n \u00b7 NBS Zonal Controllers\n \u00b7 Trainers\/Monitors\n \u00b7 Coordinators\n \u00b7 Statistician General of State Bureau of Statistics\/Directors of State Statistical Agency \n \u00b7 Staff of State Ministry of Agriculture\n \u00b7 Independent Monitors\n\n\nDATA COLLECTION\n\nTwo teams were constituted in each LGA. A team comprised of one team lead and one teammate. Permanent field staff of National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) served mostly as team leads. Enumerators were also drawn from relevant stakeholders from Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), both at the federal and state level. The two enumerators had separate CAPI devices and they both served as listers and mappers.  The two interviewers worked simultaneously in the same EA. They located together the boundaries of the EA and identified all of the buildings therein and numbered the building accordingly. Following this, they split the buildings into two, with one interviewer covering the buildings with odd numbers, while other covered the buildings with even numbers. This was to avoid omission or double counting within the EAs. Interviewers were expected to spend two and a half days for both the household listing and administration of community questionnaires in each EA. A team was mandated to cover twenty (20) EAs, with the total number of days allotted for fieldwork at fifty (50) days. \n\n \nORGANIZATION OF FIELD WORK\n\nOn arrival at the EA, the enumerators visited the community head(s) to explain their mission to the community and made arrangement  on how to go about the administration of the questionnaires. The two enumerators first did the numbering of all relevant structures within the EA, and thereafter, carried out the listing exercise accordingly. One enumerator listed the structures with odd numbers while the second enumerator listed all the structures with even numbers.","act_min":"Adequate physical monitoring and spot-checks were carried out by senior-level officers of the Bureau, Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (FMAFS), and National Population Commission (NPC).\nThe monitoring of fieldwork was done in three phases, the first round started concurrently with the commencement of data collection to ensure a smooth start to the data collection effort. The second round of monitoring was in the middle of the fieldwork stage, while the third occurred towards the end of the fieldwork.\nThe activities carried out included:\n\u00b7\tVisitation of different teams in various LGAs with special attention to the EAs that were broken into segments.\n\u00b7\tResolving observable challenges that called for urgent attention.\n\u00b7\tCollaborating with the state officers to compile all EAs that required replacement, reach out to enumerators, and discuss observations and comments from the World Bank and FAO, and proffer solutions where necessary.\n\u00b7\tIdentification of enumerators who did not properly classify agricultural and non-agricultural enterprises, for better understanding and proper classification.\n\u00b7\tSpot-checking of  EAs where the number of households listed by the enumerators was less than what the NPC listed.\n\u00b7\tRandomly visited households where enumerators listed over 100 members of a household to confirm the true scenario of the household membership using the interviewer keys.\n\u00b7\tOnline real-time data monitoring and immediate feedback.","weight":"The final probability of selection of each EA is the product of its probabilities of selection in the first and second phase sampling. The design weight is the inverse of the final selection probability. Design weights were adjusted for non-response and scaled to the updated frame population providing final weights for producing estimates (mean, totals, proportions\u2026) with standard Horvitz-Thompson estimators.\nIt is important to note that the sampling weights were calibrated using preliminary estimates of numbers of households from the cartographic work by the National Population Commission of Nigeria.\n\nThe variable \"nasc_listing_weight\" in the microdata represents the household\u00a0listing\u00a0weight.","cleaning_operations":"Data processing of the NASC household listing survey included checking for inconsistencies, incompleteness, and outliers.

This process involved the removal of all direct identifiers, such as names, GPS locations, and specific addresses. Additionally, geographic information below the level of Local Government Area (LGA) has been excised to prevent any potential identification of individuals or households based on their location.\nFurthermore, a masking technique (local suppression algorithms) has been implemented on the quasi-identifying variables using the R package sdcMicro. This ensures that even subtle patterns or combinations of variables that could potentially lead to re-identification are obfuscated, thereby enhancing the overall security and privacy of the dataset.","analysis_info":{"sampling_error_estimates":"Given the complexity of the sample design, sampling errors were estimated through resampling approaches (Bootstrap\/Jackknife)"}},"data_access":{"dataset_use":{"conf_dec":[{"txt":"The confidentiality of the individual respondent is protected by law (Statistical Act 2007)\nThis is published in the Official Gazette of the Federal republic of Nigeria No. 60 vol. 94 of 11th June 2007.
