Series Information
Prior to the High Frequency South Sudan Survey Wave 1 (2015), a High Frequency Panel Survey was conducted between August 2012 and September 2014, which scaled up an existing pilot project to a nationwide survey. The High Frequency South Sudan Survey Wave 1 (2015) is followed by Wave 2 conducted in 2016.
Abstract
Between February and September 2015, World Bank in collaboration with South Sudan’s National Bureau of Statistics, funded by DfID, conducted the first wave of the High Frequency South Sudan Survey to monitor welfare and perceptions of citizens in all accessible areas of South Sudan.

This dataset contains information on security, economic conditions, education, employment, access to services, and perceptions. It also includes comprehensive information on assets and consumption, to allow estimation of poverty based on the Rapid Consumption methodology as detailed in Pape and Mistiaen (2014).

Sampling

Sampling Procedure
The sample design employs a stratified two-stage clustered design. Within each of the 12 strata (6 states, urban and rural), the primary sampling units are enumeration areas (EAs) that were drawn randomly proportional to size. Within EAs, a listing was conducted and 12 household were drawn randomly as unit of observation.
Deviations from the Sample Design
EAs were replaced if inaccessibility rendered field work unfeasible. Replacements were approved by the project manager. Replacement of households were approved by the supervisor after a total of three unsuccessful visits of the household.
Weighting
The sampling weight is the inverse probability of selection. The selection probability for a household can be decomposed into the selection probability of the EA and the selection probability of the household within the EA. The selection probability of an EA is calculated as the number of households within the EA divided by the number of households within the stratum multiplied by the number of selected EAs in the stratum estimated using the 2008 Census. The selection probability for a household within an EA is constant across households and is calculated as the number of households selected in the EA over the number of listed households in the EA. Sampling weights were then scaled to equal the number of households per strata using the Census 2008 data. More information can be found in the technical appendix of the South Sudan Poverty Profile 2015.

Data Collection Mode
Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]
Data Collection Notes
Data collection was implemented in 2 phases by randomly splitting each stratum into two equal-sized parts.

The survey was conducted using a CAPI mode (SurveyCTO sofware). Some questions refered to responses of earlier questions in their wordings. To allow that, the questions might have special characters in their wordings.

For example:

Question"Please confirm that your ID number is [qr_id]," where qr_id is another variable. Here the square brackets [] are used so that instead of "qr_id," the value of qr_id as selected by the respondent, will appear within the wordings of this question in the tablet when the survey is administered.

The data tables were downloaded directly from the SurveyCTO platform. Each data table has variables "State", "ea", and "hh". These are the identifying variables for the households and are used to match the observations in the given datasets.
