Income/Expenditure/Household Survey [hh/ies]
The Household Income Expenditure Survey (HIES) collected detailed information at the household level on the following topics: education, health, employment, water and sanitary practices, household resources, grants, crime, conflicts and recent shocks to household wealth. The survey was also expected to provide reliable and policy relevant agricultural statistics and served as a baseline of information for the “Agenda for Transformation” set by the Government of Liberia. Other components of the HIES included capacity building and cross-country knowledge, sharing alongside efforts to improve survey methodologies in Liberia. Among other features were the design and implementation of a household survey that focused on the household income and expenditure that fed into Consumer Price Index (CPI) construction. The data collection exercise for the survey was conducted from January to December 2014.The survey covered 8,360 randomly selected households over the 12-month period.
