A Survey Metadata Production Workshop was held in Free Town, Sierra Leone from June 30 to July 4 to document new surveys produced by Statistics Sierra Leone (SSL). Six staff members from various departments of the SSL participated in the workshop and successfully documented seven surveys. The metadata produced during the workshop was reviewed by an independent reviewer and uploaded to the SSL NADA. (http://microdata.statistics.sl/index.php/catalog) .
