The reference period for this survey covered the 2005-2006 agricultural season. The 2006 round sampled 9,500 households, including about 8 new households selected in each of the 259 villages. The REDS surveys continued studying the households that participated in ARIS (Additional Rural Incomes Survey), a panel study sponsored by USAID that collected information from rural households in 1969, 1970, and 1971. Previous waves of REDS took place in 1982 and 1999.
