CESS Institute has been awarded a contract to support the LISGIS to estimate the household poverty line based on the HIES 2014.

The Liberia Institute for Statistics and Geo-information Services (LISGIS) implemented a Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) in 2014. Based on the household expenditure, CESS Institute will support the LISGIS to estimate the 2014 poverty line and household consumption aggregate. The statistical software STATA will be used mainly for this exercise.
