The FinAccess household survey, Kenya's survey of financial inclusion run by the Central Bank of Kenya, KNBS and FSD Kenya, publishes its anonymised, weighted microdata openly, with no account needed: six rounds from 2006 to 2024, and two waves of the FinAccess MSE Tracker Survey of micro and small enterprises (2022 and 2023). This lists every file, with the questionnaires, manuals and reports, from a catalogue kept with the package; nothing is contacted.
Download files with knbs_download_finaccess() and read them with
knbs_read_microdata().
Value
A knbs_catalogue tibble with one row per file: file_id,
title, survey, year, wave, content, format, file_name,
size_bytes, sha256, archive, access, url and notes.
Details
The catalogue records what each link on the portal actually serves, which
is not always what its label says: the MSE Tracker Wave II "SPSS" link
serves the Stata file and the reverse, the Wave I "Stata" link serves the
SPSS file, and the 2006 and 2009 "Questionnaire" archives hold the survey
data too. The notes column says where a label was corrected. The
portal's 2019 heading lists no files.
The 2013 survey's Stata copy is held on Harvard Dataverse behind a
registration form; it is listed with access = "registration" and never
downloaded. Its SPSS copy is open.
