Abstract
The Ethiopian high-frequency phone
survey of households (HFPS-HH) allows for a better
understanding of the effects of COVID-19 on households and
provides data in almost real time to support new responses
to the pandemic as they become necessary. The HFPS-HH builds
on the national longitudinal Ethiopia Socioeconomic Survey
(ESS) that the Central Statistics Agency (CSA) carried out
in 2019 in collaboration with the World Bank. The HFPS-HH
subsample of the ESS sample is representative of households
with access to a phone. The survey began in April 2020 with
respondents of 3,249 households in Round 1. The same
households are tracked for six months, with selected
respondents, typically household heads, completing
phone-based interviews every three to four weeks. This
one-pager summarizes the results of the fifth round of the
HFPS-HH. This round took place about 5 months into the
pandemic. In this round the survey interviewed 2,770
households in both urban and rural areas in all regions of
Ethiopia, implemented between August 24 and September 17, 2020.
