This report summarizes the findings of the 2007 Liberia Demographic and Health Survey (LDHS) carried out by the Liberia Institute of Statistics and Geo-Information Services (LISGIS), the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOH), and the National AIDS Control Program (NACP). The Government of Liberia provided financial assistance in terms of funding and in-kind contribution of government staff time, office space, and logistical support. Additional funding for the survey was contributed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Macro International provided technical assistance and medical supplies and equipment for the survey through the MEASURE DHS program, which is funded by the USAID and is designed to assist developing countries to collect data on fertility, family planning, and maternal and child health. The UNFPA Country Support Team provided some back-stopping support. The opinions expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the donor organizations.
