The General Household Survey – Panel (GHS-Panel) is the only nationally representative longitudinal survey in Nigeria. Since the inception of the GHS-Panel in 2010, the National Bureau of Statistics has implemented five waves of the survey in collaboration with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Bank, providing invaluable insights into household welfare, income-generating activities, and socio- economic outcomes over time. The GHS-Panel offers a deep dive into important dimensions of the challenges Nigerian households face, while documenting features that may support resilience.

This is the resource page for GHS-Panel Wave 5, the latest round of the survey. In Wave 5, a total of 4,715 households were interviewed across 518 Enumeration Areas. Households were visited twice: first after the planting season (post-planting visit), between July and September 2023, and second after the harvest season (post-harvest visit), between January and March 2024.
