Belgium Survey (zipped file, 746KB)
Three surveys were designed and implemented for the World Bank in Belgium to collect information on household characteristics, migration and remittance from households in which at least one person was born in, respectively, the DRC, Nigeria or Senegal. The heads of Diaspora networks from the DRC, Senegal and Nigeria nominated volunteers from their respective communities to act as interviewers and provided the lists of household members to be contacted for interviews. The survey started on March 2005 and was completed by April 2005.
Please see the Migration and Remittances section of Prospects for Development for more recent data.
