A delegation from Gabon's Ministry of Planning and Prospective, led by Edwige Nfoume Ella-Mbeke, has arrived in Port-Gentil to sensitize local economic actors, foreign community representatives, and agricultural and commercial sectors about the upcoming Harmonized Household Living Conditions Survey. The survey aims to gather data on household living conditions, and the delegation is working to prepare local actors to receive the survey teams. The survey is part of a national effort to improve the estimation of household living conditions.
The sensitization meeting, held at the Bord de mer town hall, brought together representatives from commercial associations, agricultural cooperatives, producers, and foreign communities. The meeting aimed to prepare local actors to welcome the survey teams from the National Institute of Statistics, who will be deployed across the country in the coming days. The survey will focus on household expenditures, food consumption, and agricultural production, with the goal of improving the estimation of household living conditions.
According to Edwige Nfoume Ella-Mbeke, the survey will involve evaluating household expenditures and food consumption to contribute to a better estimation of their living conditions. The survey will also focus on prices and non-standard units of measurement for agricultural production. Local actors are encouraged to relay information to their members to facilitate the survey.
Yves Essongue, a social, cultural, and political leader in Ogooué-Maritime, highlighted the importance of the survey for young female entrepreneurs and traders. He believes that the data collected could help orient public policies in favor of structuring and modernizing their economic activities. The survey is expected to provide valuable insights into the living conditions of households in Gabon.
