Quantitative analysis on the social impacts of the Crop Intensification Program in Rwanda # Rwanda-cip Quantitative analysis on the social impacts of the Crop Intensification Program in Rwanda # Data The data used in this project is from the following sources: * the Rwanda Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey (EICV7) covering October 2023 to October 2024 website: microdata.statistics.gov.rw * the Rwanda Seasonal Agricultural Survey 2025 (SAS) covering September, 2023 to September, 2024 website: microdata.statistics.gov.rw For the above microdata it is necessary to create an account to access the files but summary tables are readily available without an account. * administrative boundaries were downloaded from the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) website: data.humdata.org * Rainfall data was downloaded from the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) website: data.humdata.org # Research Project: CIP, Food Welfare, and Smallholder Vulnerability in Rwanda ## Overview This project investigates whether district-level land use consolidation (LUC) intensity under Rwanda's Crop Intensification Program (CIP) reduces household food consumption welfare, and whether this effect is worse for poorer households. The broader argument is that CIP forces households into drought-vulnerable monocrops, reducing food welfare in ways that increase climate vulnerability and household instability. ## Data Sources - **EICV7 (2023/24):** Household-level survey from World Bank Microdata Catalog - `CS_S01_S5_S7_Household.dta` — shock variables (s5eq1, s5eq2a, s5eq3a, s5eq4a), wealth quintile, urban/rural - `CS_EICV7_poverty_file.dta` — food consumption (food), aggregate consumption (sol_jan), adult equivalents (ae), wealth quintiles - `CS_S10A1_A2_credits.dta` — credit access controls - `CS_S10C_Savings.dta` — savings controls - **NISR Seasonal Agricultural Survey (SAS) 2024:** Plot-level microdata …
