| 520 | |a The story behind the remarkable timeliness and policy impact of the Jamaican Survey of Living Conditions (SLC) is told here with emphasis on the reasons for its success and its shortcomings. The story holds lessons for other countries that wish to institute Living Standard Measurement Study surveys. The Jamaican SLC was designed and instituted to serve as the monitoring mechanism for a multifaceted, multisectoral initiative to revitialize the social service delivery system in Jamaica. Key strategic choices made in the SLC's implementation resulted in clarity of purpose; timeliness as a priority; extensive adaptation to the local environment; a tutorial approach to skills transfer; active involvement of line ministries in the survey process; pursuit of multiple avenues of data analysis; and an effective mix of staff from both the operational and research complexes on the World Bank supervision team. The marginal dollar costs for survey implementation in Jamaica were quite low, but the costs in Bank staff time were quite high. | ||
