Survey of Public Opinion South Sudan’s Greater Equatoria Region
May 21-June 15, 2012
Survey Methodology
2
• The International Republican Institute (IRI) undertook a poll in the three states of South Sudan’s Greater Equatoria region which includes the states of Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria and Western Equatoria. Analysis, supervision and execution of the poll was performed by Opinion Research Business (ORB), an international opinion research firm. Fieldwork management was done by Samahi Research, a private South Sudanese research consultancy.
• Data was collected via face-to-face interviews from May 21 - June 15, 2012.
• The population studied was adults ages 18 and older. A representative random sample was designed based on the latest population estimates reported in the 2010 Statistical Yearbook for South Sudan.
• The survey employed probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling methodology. The population of Greater Equatoria was stratified by county. Enumeration areas within each county were selected using PPS; households within each enumeration area were then identified using a random walk method and a skip pattern; respondents were randomly chosen within households using a Kish grid. Every other interview was conducted with a female to achieve 50 percent gender parity.
• The questionnaire was offered in Juba Arabic, English, Bari, Zande and Toposa.
Survey Methodology
3
• The margin of error is +/- 2.5 percent. The margin of error for subsets (i.e.
tribes/age/education, etc.) is significantly higher and should be treated as indicative only.
• This report contains Greater Equatoria data from IRI's September 2011 poll to provide comparison. The margin of error for the September 2011 data is +/- 3.7 percent, unless otherwise stated.
• The overall response rate (defined as the number of successful interviews divided by eligible houses visited) is 57 percent. To complete 1,547 interviews, 2,698 households were contacted.
• Due to rounding and multiple response questions, not all percentages add up to 100. Unless otherwise stated, all questions N=1,547. Because the survey met key demographic indicators (state/county) and quotas (gender), no weighting was necessary during data analysis
• The poll was conducted with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development.
