Survey of South Sudan Public Opinion April 24 to May 22, 2013

Survey Methodology

• The International Republican Institute (IRI) undertook a public opinion poll in all 10 states of South Sudan. Training of the poll researchers was performed by Opinion Research Business (ORB), an international opinion research firm. Fieldwork management, analysis, supervision and execution were done by IRI under critical guidance of ORB.

• Data was collected via face-to-face interviews from April 24 – May 22, 2013.

• 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 South Sudan was stratified first at the region level and then by the state level. Within each state, IRI and ORB then selected counties. This was done by creating a multi-stage probability sample. Enumeration areas within each county were selected using PPS; households within each enumeration area were then identified using a random walk method, the days code and a skip pattern; respondents were randomly chosen within households using a Kish grid. Every other interview was conducted with a female to try to achieve 50 percent gender parity.

• The questionnaire was translated into Bari, Classical Arabic, Dinka, English, Juba Arabic and Nuer (portions of the questionnaire were orally translated into other languages by the interviewer).

Survey Methodology

• The margin of error is +/- 1.9 percent. The margin of error for subsets (i.e. age/education/tribes/ etc.) is significantly higher and should be treated as indicative only.

• This report contains South Sudan’s data from IRI's September 2011 poll and IRI’s Equatoria May/June 2012 poll to provide comparison. The margin of error for the September 2011 and May/June 2012 data is +/- 2.1 percent and +/- 2.5 percent, respectively, unless otherwise stated.

• The overall response rate (defined as the number of successful interviews divided by eligible houses visited) is 74 percent. To complete 2,533 interviews, 3,422 households were contacted.

• Due to rounding and multiple response questions, not all percentages add up to 100. Unless otherwise stated, all questions n=2,533. Because the survey met key demographic indicators (county/state) and quotas (gender), no weighting was necessary during data analysis.

• The poll was conducted with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development.

• The Institute acknowledges the helpful support of the South Sudan National Bureau of Statistics and the Government of the Republic of South Sudan during the process of this survey. The Institute also acknowledges the contributions from the following individuals throughout this project: Alfred Lokuji, University of Juba; Augustino Ting, The Sudd Institute; Leben Nelson Moro, University of Juba; Merekaje Lorna, South Sudan Democratic Engagement Monitoring and Observation Project; Samson Wasara, University of Juba; Stephen Omiri, Eye Radio Media Group; and Zahra Said, South Sudan Network for Democracy and Elections.
