COVID-19 LAC High Frequency Phone Surveys 2021, Wave 1 (Belize)

Abstract

After implementing Phase 1 of the High-Frequency Phone Survey (HFPS) project in Latin America and The Caribbean in 2020, the World Bank conducted Phase 2 in 2021 to continue to assess the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on households. This new phase, conducted in partnership with the UNDP LAC Chief Economist office, included two waves. Wave 1 collected between May and July 2021, covering 23 countries. Of these countries, 13 participated in Phase 1: Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay and Peru. Countries that joined in Phase 2 are: Antigua & Barbuda, Belize, Dominica, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, St. Lucia and Uruguay.

This study presents information from these 23 countries. Brazil was later integrated into the LAC HFPS Phase 2 project.
