UNODC grants access to survey microdata for statistical and scientific research purposes only. Survey microdata are made available for dissemination after all the necessary steps are taken to ensure  anonymity and confidentiality of individuals, households, and business entities. For data related to geographical entities, such as agriculture fields, particular care is taken to ensure anonymity of geographical locations and affected units. More information on the UNODC principles for microdata sharing can be found here.
