HELLO.

I am your market surveyor.

I have been sent on behalf of the Presidential Ebola Task Force, an international project headed by the Government of Sierra Leone as well as international development agencies and private sector businesses, involved in the development, health and agriculture sector in Sierra Leone.

I have come to conduct a survey on the impact of Ebola on local and district markets. I will ask you questions about the availability and accessability of food and provision itmes as well as price levels and finance options. The information gathered through this survey is used to put measurements and mechanisms in place that support the markets and help to drive Ebola out of Sierra Leone.

I hope you will collaborate with me and go with me through this survey.
