The first harmonized survey has been implemented successfully in all eight countries. The results of the analyses are predicted in January 2020 and the data should be available to the public in July 2020, 12 months after the end of data collection as required. Questionnaires used in surveys are harmonized and validated for all countries; they take into account the gender dimension. The technical instruments were adopted by the National Statistical Organizations (NSOs) of the eight member states of WAEMU and five technical capacity building workshops have been organized. 12/20/2019 Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report REGIONAL PROGRAM TO HARMONIZE AND MODERNIZE LIVING CONDITIONS SURVEYS (P153702) One key issue is related to Financial Management, the accounts of the FY 2018 have not been audited and FY 19 is going to its end, this need to be fixed and the Project Team is working with the WAEMU Commission on this issue.
