To continue monitoring how the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic affected welfare, the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) joined forces to implement a second phase of High-Frequency Phone Surveys (HFPS) in LAC, one and a half years after the onset of the pandemic. The initiative was supported by the Joint Data Center, the Global Financing Facility, and the Caribbean Regional Resilience Building Facility.
In this second phase, data collection was expanded to 24 countries in the region: the 13 countries included in the first phase plus Antigua & Barbuda, Belize, Brazil, Dominica, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, Saint Lucia, and Uruguay. Two waves were collected between May 2021 and January 2022. In addition to employment, income, food insecurity, and access to services, the surveys collected information on gender issues and access to digital and banking services during the pandemic.
