    Priority Survey (hh/ps]
    Series Information

    There were a total of 3 Priority Surveys (PS) undertaken in the Gambia between 1992 and 1998. This 1994 PS was the second in the series.
    Abstract

    This survey is important because it will provide the Gambian Government and other policy makers and planners with necessary socio-economic data. The data will be used to assess the impact of the Government's structural adjustment policies on the wellbeing of the people. This survey will provide a basis on which to :

    • develop and maintain a statistical database on the social dimen-sions of adjustment
    • develop appropriate policies on social dimensions of adjustment
    • design and follow up economic and social policies and poverty alleviation programs and projects in conjunction with future social structural adjustment.

    The primary objectives of the survey are:

    • to provide a quick identification of policy target groups
    • to provide a mechanism whereby key socio-economic indicators can be easily and regularly produced in order to describe and monitor the wellbeing of different categories of households
    • to provide some key data on how the adjustment program affects the availability and quality of social and economic services to households, both as producers and consumers of products.
