Integrated Survey (non-LSMS) [hh/is]
The Sierra Leone integrated household survey (SLIHS) was based on two rounds. The first survey was implemented between March 2003 and April 2004 and the second survey between January and December 2011.The SLIHS 2009/10 was a follow-up of the previous round and it served as a good comparison with the SLIHS 2003/04.Tasks undertaken jointly included the compiling and cleaning of survey data. The construction of the consumption aggregate, the development of a poverty line with appropriate spatial and regional deflators, and the calculation of poverty statistics.
The general aim of the Sierra Leone Integrated Household Survey (SLIHS) was to provide statistics on the living conditions of the people of Sierra Leone and to provide inputs to the government of Sierra Leone's policy making process. The study used consumption as the starting measure for household well-being and followed the standard in poverty analysis for developing countries.
The 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.
The 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:
The 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.

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.

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.
