Abstract
Since Liberia’s Ebola virus disease
(EVD) epidemic began in March 2014, nearly 10,000 persons
have contracted the virus and more than 4,000 have died. The
economic impact of Ebola survey is a high frequency cell
phone survey designed to monitor the socio-economic impacts
of the EVD crisis in Liberia. The survey has been conducted
in five rounds from October 2014 to March 2015. The sample
is based on the nationally representative household income
and expenditure survey (HIES) implemented from February to
August 2014 by the Liberia institute of statistics and
geo-information services (LISGIS). The report presents an
update of the epidemiological situation in Liberia and
associated response efforts at the time of the fifth round
of data collection (March 12-18, 2015). It gives an updates
on the employment, prices, food security, coping strategies,
health, and education indicators surveyed.
