Summary: This microdata table contains information on expenditure of the last 12 months collected in the seventh Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey, known as EICV7 (Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions de Vie des ménages). A main cross-sectional sample survey, a panel survey and a VUP (Vision Umurenge Programme) sample survey were conducted simultaneously; this microdata table relates to the VUP sample survey.
Geographic Coverage: National coverage (Rwanda), including rural and urban households and allowing province- and district-level estimation of key indicators.
Time Period: The EICV7 data collection covered a 12 month period (October 2023 to October 2024). In order to represent the seasonality in the income and consumption data, the fieldwork was divided into nine nationally representative cycles.
Frequency: The EICV is conducted every three years; prior to EICV4, the survey was conducted every five years, with the first survey (EICV1) conducted in 2000/01.
Population/Units: Household members
Key Variables: Items name, Household purchased article over the last 12 months, Amount spent to purchase in last 12 months, Place where purchased in the last 12 months, Article received as gifts and in-kind
Purpose: This survey serves as a key source of socio-economic data on the living conditions of Rwandan households. It plays a critical role in the ongoing monitoring and evaluation of national and international development frameworks, including the Second National Strategy for Transformation (NST2), the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Vision 2050, among others. The survey data are also vital for compiling national accounts and updating the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
Data Quality Notes: The response rate exceeded 99% by the end of the survey, with 15,054 out of the 15,066 targeted households successfully interviewed.

","databaseName":"datasharing_platform","schemaDescription":"Summary: The EICV7 survey (Enquête Intégrale sur les Conditions de Vie des ménages) was conducted over a 12-month period, from October 2023 to October 2024. Data collection was organized into nine cycles, each comprising three sub-cycles, to capture seasonal variations in household consumption patterns. Both a main cross-sectional household survey and a VUP (Vision Umurenge Program) sample survey were carried out concurrently. The EICV7 VUP Survey targets households receiving benefits from the Vision 2020 Umurenge Program (VUP).
The VUP program includes the following seven components:
Direct Support (DS)
Nutrition-Sensitive Direct Support (NSDS)
Classic Public Works (cPW)
Expanded Public Works (ePW)
Asset Transfers
Financial Services (FS)
Skills Development
The National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda (NISR) had conducted similar VUP Surveys starting with EICV4. A VUP Panel Survey was also included in EICV5. At that time, the VUP programme consisted of only three components: Direct Support (DS), Public Works (PW), and Financial Services (FS).
Geographic Coverage: National coverage (Rwanda), including rural and urban households and allowing province- and district-level estimation of key indicators.
