The study used consumption as the starting measure for household well-being and followed the standard in poverty analysis for developing countries. \nThe SLIHS was prepared as joint work by Statistics Sierra Leone (SSL) and the World Bank Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Unit. SSL had the major responsibility of conducting the survey. \nThe first chapter presents an overview of poverty, demographics, livelihoods, education, and health in Sierra Leone and measures progress in these indicators compared to the 2003 poverty assessment. The work was conducted as part of the poverty update and it included a series of policy notes with more detailed analysis. The objectives of the SLIHS include:\n\n1. Provide benchmark poverty indicators against which the successes of the agenda for change (PRSP II) could be measured.\n2. To measure the incidence of poverty alongside other indicators include providing information on patterns of household's consumption and expenditure at a greater level of disaggregation.\n3. To provide data for the compilation of national accounts and computation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI)\n4. In combination with earlier data this will give a data base for national and state planning and for the estimation of consumption as a proportion of household production.\n\nThe SLIHS was spread over a 12 month period in order to ensure a continuous recording of household consumption, expenditures and changes occurring thereof in 2011. A total of 9,671 Enumeration areas were selected and about 6,757 households were interviewed all over the country.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2011-01-03","end":"2011-12-30","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Sierra Leone","abbreviation":"SLE"}],"geog_coverage":"National","analysis_unit":"- Household\n- Individual","data_kind":"Sample survey data [ssd]","notes":"The Survey covered the following topics:\n- Household demographic characteristics\n- Macroeconomic trends\n- Poverty and growth\n- Agriculture and rural livelihoods\n- Education\n- Health\n- Employment\n- Credit and savings\n- Food consumption\n- Migration\n- Crime and security\n- Effects of Conflict"},"method":{"data_collection":{"data_collectors":[{"name":"Statistics Sierra Leone","abbreviation":"SSL","affiliation":"Government of Sierra Leone"}],"sampling_procedure":"The Integrated Household Survey (SLIHS) was administered to a representative sample of households.

SSL adopted the local councils as the primary domain of study, this provided measures of levels of poverty and welfare at national and sub-national levels therefore addressing the recent strengths and weaknesses of government policies and programs. The census Enumeration area was used as a primary sampling unit (PSU) for the 2011 survey.\nThe survey used a two-stage sampling design from the 2004 census frame. At the first stage 9,671 enumeration areas were selected. At the second stage, 85 Households per EA were selected the statistics obtained from the sampling frame have no difference compared to the census report.
