After the eighth plan period, when Government of Nepal gave more emphasis on poverty alleviation and to decrease unemployment, Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) started conducting Nepal Living Standards Survey (NLSS) and Nepal Labour Force Survey (NLFS) to measure consumption based poverty and unemployment rate respectively. The household consumption data collected in NLSS not only provide poverty estimates, but also help improve the national accounts estimates of household consumption. So far, CBS has conducted three living standard measurement surveys and two labour force surveys on periodic basis. However, these survey results only cannot satisfy theuser's demand of current information completely. Neither have they fulfilled the data gap about the estimate of annual change of household consumption sufficiently. Realizing the importance of current statistics' database based on household survey to improve the reliability of national accounts estimates and keeping in view of the user's demands, the Annual Household Survey (AHS) program is introduced. The program is designed basically toproduce household consumption and labour force related statistics at an annual basis. The AHS 2012/13 is the first of its kind. Besides consumption and labour force indicators, it containssome other importanthousehold information including demography, literacy and housing facilities. The survey has been carried out with the assistance of United Nations Development Fund (UNDP).
