We have launched a COVID-19 Tracker, The survey themes include health and risk behaviours, food security, income, work and job security, personal safety concerns, and access to government and community support. #www.#
Compare indicators across countries and periods. Start by gaining a broad overview of the financial market through National Surveys, and then deepen your understanding of how low-income households manage their financial lives using Financial Diaries. You can also overlay Geospatial Data to learn more about a particular area and explore the MSME sector of a country.
The National Surveys methodology is a credible and globally accepted process of collecting and analysing financial inclusion data. National Surveys methodology uses a sampling procedure that ensures minimum acceptable levels for national, urban/rural and regional reliable estimates with acceptable margins of error. A multi-stage sampling methodology is applied, which entails selection of enumeration areas (EAs) – from recent census or population estimates using probability proportional to size, followed by the selection of households and the selection of one adult in the selected household using a Kish Grid.
National Surveys (which are nationally representative surveys of adults in a particular country) demonstrate how people source their income and manage their financial lives. Providing a view on the levels of financial inclusion within a country, they are of value to policymakers and researchers who are looking to improve the functioning of financial markets.
The primary Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) probability survey data provides insights into the current MSME landscape. MSMEs are key drivers of economic growth, employment and innovation in developing economies. This data allows for a deeper understanding of MSMEs, their owners and the challenges these owners face.
Financial diaries offer insight into the combination of financial instruments that households use over time. Trained enumerators visit households multiple times over an extended period to ask questions about income, expenses and transactions in financial instruments. While the selected sample is not nationally representative, the level of depth obtained through diaries research is not comparable with traditional survey methods.
"Geospatial" indicates that the data has a geographic component to it. This means that the records in a dataset have locational information tied to them, such as geographic data in the form of coordinates, address, city or ZIP code. GIS data is a powerful tool that gives a user the ability to view data at a country/jurisdiction level. We’ve partnered with global data providers (such as resourcewatch.org , AIDData and Humanitarian Data Exchange) to give you useful contextual layers, overlaid with financial access points and agricultural points.
