ABSTRACT
The 2010/11 Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey or EICV3 (Enqute Intgrale sur les Conditions de Vie des Mnages) is the third in the series of surveys which started in 2000/01 and is designed to monitor poverty and living conditions in Rwanda. The survey methodology has changed little over its 10 years, making it ideal for monitoring changes in the country.
