To monitor how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting Zambia’s economy and people and to inform interventions and policy responses, the World Bank designed and conducted a rapid phone-based Household Monitoring Survey (HMS). This brief summarizes the results of the first round of the HMS, implemented between June 5 and June 26, 2020. The brief is based on a sample of 1,602 households in both urban and rural areas in all ten provinces of Zambia. The survey is representative at three levels: Lusaka, urban excluding Lusaka, and rural. The 25-minute questionnaire covers such topics as knowledge of COVID and mitigation measures, access to educational activities during school closures, employment dynamics, household income and livelihood, income loss and coping strategies, and assistance received. 2020-09-16T18:21:54Z 2020-09-16T18:21:54Z 2020-07-08 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/125731599720065927/Monitoring-COVID-19-Impacts-on-Households-in-Zambia-Results-from-a-High-Frequency-Phone-Survey-of-Households http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34459 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief Zambia
