Abstract
This report includes: the Hunga
Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai (HT-HH) volcanic eruption (January 15,

associated lockdown (starting on February 2); to assess and
monitor the economic and social impacts of the crises, the

collect 6 rounds of surveys until mid-2024; surveys
interview the same households across rounds to monitor
various socio-economic outcomes and inform policy and

in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands with Vanuatu and
