To monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures on formal firms in Ethiopia and inform the policy response, the World Bank, in collaboration with the government, is implementing a high-frequency phone survey of firms (HFPS-F). The HFPS-F interviews a sample of firms in Addis Ababa every three weeks for a total of eight survey rounds. This high-frequency follow-up allows for a better understanding of the effects of and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic on firm operations, hiring and firing, and expectations of future operations and labor demand in order to better tailor and implement interventions and policy responses and monitor their effectsCC BY 3.0 IGOCORONAVIRUSCOVID-19PANDEMIC IMPACTECONOMIC WELL-BEINGPHONE SURVEYFIRM OPERATIONSWOMEN ENTREPRENEURSSMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISESMICROENTERPRISESLAYOFFSGOVERNMENT SUPPORTLIQUIDITY CRUNCHAFRICA GENDER POLICYGENDER INNOVATION LABWOMEN AND PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTWOMEN AND YOUTH EMPLOYMENTReportWorld Bank10.1596/36664
