This paper, which is based on a 2012 Afrobarometer survey of citizens, assesses economic and living conditions and social service delivery in Sierra Leone as well as perception of the government’s performance in these fields. It reveals mixed opinions on the economic and living conditions in Sierra Leone with people reporting shortages of basic necessities. However, it also says that Sierra Leoneans agreed there had been an improvement on the previous year’s conditions and were highly optimistic about conditions in the coming year. It also reports that citizens rated government performance in managing key macro-economic indicators negatively.
