Previous welfare monitoring surveys, for example, have shown that nearly half of the Kenyan population is. living in Absolute Poverty, and that poverty in general is on the increase. This revelation has in the recent past led to a number of Government measures to curb the deterioration in welfare.\n\nThe latest poverty estimates date back to the second Welfare Monitoring Survey (WMSII) of 1994, in which rural poverty was estimated at 46% and urban poverty at 29%. Since current information on the nature of poverty is essential for designing more poverty-sensitive strategies, the purpose of this report is to update 1994 poverty levels through the findings of the third Welfare Monitoring Survey (WMSIII), carried out between March and May 1997.","coll_dates":[{"start":"1997-02-09","end":"1997-08-01","cycle":"3"}],"nation":[{"name":"Kenya","abbreviation":"KEN"}],"geog_coverage":"National Coverage","analysis_unit":"Both at  the Husehold and Individual levels","universe":"The survey covered all de jure household members (usual residents)","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The scope of WMSIII includes:\n- Household demographics\n-  Child information\n- Amenities (Access, use and satisfaction to\/with health services)\n- Assets \n- Household consumption and expenditure \n-Computed variables from consumption and expenditure"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Central Bureau of Statistics","abbreviation":"CBS","affiliation":"Ministry of Planning and national Development"}],"sampling_procedure":"The selection probabilities were based on a three-stage sampling scheme, as described below: \nFirst Stage\t-EA selection within the district\nSecond Stage\t-Cluster selection\nThird Stage\t-Household selection","coll_mode":"Face-to-face [f2f]","research_instrument":"Two sets of questionnaires were administered during the survey at different intervals.
