Statistics Sierra Leone, in collaboration with UNICEF, has initiated a week-long workshop at the New Brookfields Hotel in Freetown, on Monday 29th January 2024, in a bid to enhance Sierra Leone’s data collection capabilities.
The workshop aims to review the Multi Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) questionnaire and explore its potential in refining data tools.
The atmosphere since the commencement of the workshop has been vibrant, with statisticians, researchers, and experts from diverse disciplines, representing various stakeholder organizations, all convening to unravel the potential of refined data tools. Attendees were met with great enthusiasm as the workshop commenced.
The MICS questionnaire plays a vital role in gathering essential data on the well-being of children and women. It is undergoing a comprehensive review to align with the evolving dynamics of society. Experts in health, education, and social welfare are participating in intensive discussions to fine-tune the survey questions and reflect the current socio-economic landscape.
The week-long activity is expected not only to bolster Sierra Leone’s statistical capabilities but also to foster enduring partnerships beyond the workshop.
