The Sierra Leone integrated household survey (SLIHS) was based on 2 rounds. The 1st survey was implemented between March 2003 and April 2004 and the 2nd 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. The general aim 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.
