    Data protection

    TVSEP takes the protection of our panel households’ data very seriously. A data protection plan has been developed and the project has been certified by the Leibniz University Hannover to be compliant with European and German data protection laws and standards.

    Sample of the TVSEP dataset

    TVSEP has released a first sample of its dataset. The featured data include selected key information on rural households in Thailand and Vietnam. Some further information on the sample and the dataset can be downloaded here:

    *Note: the 2024 datasets for Thailand and Vietnam have been released since July 2025
