Agricultural Survey [ag/oth]
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed a monitoring system in 26 food crisis countries to better understand the impacts of various shocks on agricultural livelihoods, food security and local value chains. The Monitoring System consists of primary data collected from households on a periodic basis (more or less every four months, depending on seasonality). FAO launched a household survey in Sierra Leone through the Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM-Monitoring) System to monitor agricultural livelihoods and food security. This ninth-round survey was conducted through face-to-face interviews from 10 February to 2 March 2023 and reached 2 682 households. Data were collected during the post-harvest period across five provinces, and sixteen districts. The survey is representative at admin level 2.

Sampling
Data were collected during the post-harvest period across five provinces, and the following sixteen districts: Eastern (Kailahun, Kenema and Kono districts), Northern (Bombali, Falaba, Koinadugu and Tonkolili districts), North West (Kambia, Kerene and Port Loko districts), Southern (Bo, Bonthe, Moyamba, Kono and Pujehun districts) and Western (Western Area Rural and Western Area Urban).
Surveys are designed based on country-specific needs, objectives, and constraints. They aim to achieve a 10 percent margin of error, a 95 percent confidence level, administrative-level granularity, and sufficient sample sizes for key target populations, including agricultural households.
For more details on the sampling procedure, consult the methodology document attached in the documentations tab.
Regional weights were applied to correct disproportionate sampling at the regional level and based on information gathered through the 2015 population and housing census.
