Monitoring COVID-19 Impact on Households in Zimbabwe, Report No. 2
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic created an urgent need for timely information to help monitor and mitigate the social and economic impacts of the crisis. This information is essential to inform policy measures for protecting the welfare of Zimbabweans. Responding to this need, the Zimbabwe Statistics Agency (ZIMSTAT), together with the World Bank and UNICEF, designed a high-frequency telephone survey of households to measure the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 in Zimbabwe. The survey builds on the Poverty, Income, Consumption and Expenditure Surveys (PICES) of 2017 and 2019 and used a sample of 1747 households in round 1 and 1639 households in round 2 from all ten provinces of Zimbabwe. The sample is representative of urban as well as rural areas. This survey is referred to as the Rapid PICES Monitoring Telephone Survey and is jointly funded by the Zimbabwe Reconstruction Fund (ZIMREF) and UNICEF, and implemented by ZIMSTAT with technical support from the World Bank and UNICEF. This brief report summarizes the results of the second round of the Rapid PICES, conducted from August 24th to September 23rd, 2020, and compares them to the findings of the first round conducted between July 6th and 24th, 2020. Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) was used for data collection. An overview of the findings of the key indicators for both rounds is provided at the end of this note.

| Summary: | The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic
created an urgent need for timely information to help
monitor and mitigate the social and economic impacts of the
crisis. This information is essential to inform policy
measures for protecting the welfare of Zimbabweans.
Responding to this need, the Zimbabwe Statistics Agency
(ZIMSTAT), together with the World Bank and UNICEF, designed
a high-frequency telephone survey of households to measure
the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 in Zimbabwe. The
survey builds on the Poverty, Income, Consumption and
Expenditure Surveys (PICES) of 2017 and 2019 and used a
sample of 1747 households in round 1 and 1639 households in
round 2 from all ten provinces of Zimbabwe. The sample is
representative of urban as well as rural areas. This survey
is referred to as the Rapid PICES Monitoring Telephone
Survey and is jointly funded by the Zimbabwe Reconstruction
Fund (ZIMREF) and UNICEF, and implemented by ZIMSTAT with
technical support from the World Bank and UNICEF. This brief
report summarizes the results of the second round of the
Rapid PICES, conducted from August 24th to September 23rd,
2020, and compares them to the findings of the first round
conducted between July 6th and 24th, 2020. Computer-Assisted
Personal Interviewing (CAPI) was used for data collection.
An overview of the findings of the key indicators for both
