The Rural Househol Multi-Indicator Survey (RHoMIS)

RHoMIS was designed to improve the process of gathering information from farming households in the rural developing world. Household surveys are very widely carried out, but the data is rarely comparable, and so the opportunities for learning between individual projects are limited. For these reasons, the tool balances standardisation with flexibility.

RHoMIS was also designed to reduce costs, time requirements, and reporting burdens for those who carry out household surveys. Internationally recognised indicators are used, and reflexive learning since 2015 has led to a smooth and rapid questionnaire, which gathers considerable detail in a relatively short amount of time.

The tool is designed to minimise the burden on the rural household, to maximise the reliability of responses, and to improve consistency between different studies.
