  8. Determinants of Poverty in Sierra Leone, 2003

    Publication - Discussion papers - 1 February 2007
    ODI Strategic Policy Impact and Research Unit (SPIRU) Papers 19
    Sonja Fagernäs and Lindsay Wallace

    Sierra Leone is a resource rich, but highly indebted poor country in West Africa. The nature and depth of its poverty have not been well understood, as a devastating civil conflict from 1990 to 2002 prevented the collection of survey data and damaged Sierra Leone’s people, resources and economy. This paper models the determinants of poverty in Sierra Leone based on the 2003 Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES). An OLS regression model of poverty determinants is developed, and it is amongst the first papers to include war-related variables in its analysis.
