Somali High Frequency Survey
Abstract
Between February and March 2016, the World Bank, in collaboration with Somali statistical authorities conducted the first wave of the Somali High Frequency Survey to monitor welfare and perceptions of citizens in all accessible areas of 9 regions within Somalia’s pre-war borders including Somaliland which self-declared independence in 1991. The survey interviewed 2,882 urban households, 822 rural and 413 households in Internally Displaced People (IDP) settlements. The sample was drawn randomly based on a multi-level clustered design. This dataset contains information on economic conditions, education, employment, access to services, security and perceptions. It also includes comprehensive information on assets and consumption, to allow estimation of poverty based on the Rapid Consumption methodology as detailed in Pape and Mistiaen (2014).

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The sample employs a stratified two-staged clustered design with the Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) being the enumeration area. Within each enumeration area, 12 households were selected for interviews.
Two different listing approaches were used. In 2 strata with more volatile security as well as for IDP camps, a multi-stage cluster design was employed (micro-listing). Each selected enumeration area was divided into multiple segments and each segment was further divided into blocks. Within each enumeration area, one segment was randomly selected and within the segment 12 blocks were chosen. In each block, all structures were listed before selecting randomly one structure. Within the selected structure, all households were listed and one household randomly selected for interview. In strata less volatile (14 strata), the complete enumeration area was listed before 12 households were randomly selected for interviews (full-listing).

Deviations from the Sample Design
EAs were replaced if security rendered field work unfeasible. Replacements were approved by the project manager. Replacement of households were approved by the supervisor after a total of three unsuccessful visits of the household.
Weighting
The sampling weight is the inverse probability of selection.
For strata with full-listing, the selection probability for a household can be decomposed into the selection probability of the EA and the selection probability of the household within the EA. For strata with a micro-listing, the selection probability for a household can be decomposed into the selection probability of the EA, the selection probability of the block and selection probability of the household within the block
Sampling weights were then scaled to equal the number of households per analytical strata using the data from the Population Estimation Survey of Somalia (PESS) 2014. More information can be found in the Technical Appendix.
