Papua New Guinea High Frequency Phone Survey on COVID-19 2020, Round 2

The objective of the second round of the World Bank high frequency mobile phone survey was to measure the continued socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19 in Papua New Guinea, including on livelihoods, food security, and public safety and security. The length of the survey was limited to 15 minutes and the survey instrument consisted of the following modules: Basic Information, Employment and Income Loss, Food Access and Food Security, Health, Public Trust and Security, and Assets and Wellbeing. The questions on employment and income were asked to the respondent and to the household head if different from the respondent. The recall period for current employment was in the previous week. In addition, retrospective questions were asked for new respondents about the baseline (“the start of this year 2020”) as well about the situation at the time of round 1 in June (“June, around the time of the Queen’s birthday holiday”). The information from the new respondent could then be pooled with the returning respondents to have three consistent points in 2020. For retrospective questions on employment, the baseline is defined as “the start of this year 2020” and new households were asked both about the baseline as well as the situation in early July, corresponding with the implementation of round 1 of data collection. Three subsequent rounds are planned, with the next in May 2021, though the implementation calendar may be revised to respond to changing conditions on the ground.
