#1Sierra Leone Public Opinion Survey CENTER FOR INSIGHTS IN SURVEY RESEARCH A PROJECT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL REPUBLICAN INSTITUTE February 12-26, 2018#2• • · • • Detailed Methodology This survey was conducted by Pan African Field Services on behalf of the Center for Insights in Survey Research. Data was collected throughout Sierra Leone between February 12 and 26, 2018 through CAPI administered face-to-face interviews in respondents' homes. The sample consisted of n=1,526 adults in Sierra Leone, aged 18 and older. A multi-stage probability sampling method was used. The sample was stratified by region and by urban/rural residency, followed by random selection of PSUs within each stratum. Households were selected by random walk in each of the 191 PSUs, and respondents were selected by Kish grid. The sampling frame was based on the 2015 Population and Housing Census of the Statistical Office of Sierra Leone. The achieved sample was weighted for gender, age groups, and formal versus no formal education. The response rate was 79 percent. The margin of error for the full sample does not exceed ± 1.95 percent. • • Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding. The survey was funded by the United States Agency for International Development. 2#3CENTER FOR INSIGHTS IN SURVEY RESEARCH A PROJECT FROM THE INTERNATIONAL REPUBLICAN INSTITUTE National Outlook#4Generally speaking, would you say that Sierra Leone is heading in the right direction or in the wrong direction? 70% 59% 60% 57% 54% 61% 58% 56% 56% 54% 50% 44% 40% 40% 37% 48% 43% 41% 41% 42% 40% 36% 30% 20% 10% 8% 3% 2% 3% 4% 2% 3% 2% 3% 0% Total Male Female Freetown Urban Rural 18-35 36-50 51+ ■Right direction Wrong direction Don't know/Refused to answer Bases: Male n= 746; Female n= 780; Urban n= 637; Rural n= 889; Ages 18-35 n=972; Ages 36-50 n=358; Ages 51+ n=196 4#5Speaking personally, over the past 12 months, has your overall quality of life...?
