| description |
As of June 7, 2015, Sierra Leone had
reported more than 12,900 cases of Ebola Virus Disease
(EVD), and over 3,900 deaths since the outbreak began. In
recent months, substantial progress has been made, with a
maximum of 15 new cases per week reported following a
nationwide lockdown and information campaign at the end of
March. The Government of Sierra Leone, with support from the
World Bank Group, has been conducting mobile phone surveys
with the aim of capturing the key socio-economic effects of
the virus. Three rounds of data collection have been
conducted, in November 2014, January-February 2015, and May
2015. The survey was given to household heads for whom cell
phone numbers were recorded during the
nationally-representative Labor Force Survey conducted in
July and August 2014. Overall, 66 percent of the 4,199
households sampled in that survey had cell phones, although
this coverage was uneven across the country, with higher
levels in urban areas (82 percent) than rural areas (43
percent). Of those with cell phones, 51 percent were
surveyed in all three rounds, and 79 percent were reached in
at least one round. The results for the third round of the
survey, which contacted 1,715 households, focus mainly on
employment, agriculture, food security and prices, and
health service utilization, covering predominantly urban
areas where cell phone coverage is highest, but including
rural areas as much as possible given the sample available. |
