This joint report by the World Bank and
United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund
(UNICEF) Papua New Guinea (PNG) presents the findings from
two mobile phone surveys conducted in December 2020 and
January 2021 in PNG. The World Bank survey, conducted in
December 2020, was the second in a series. The UNICEF
survey, conducted in January 2021, targeted re-contacting
all 2,534 households from the World Bank round 2 survey with
children under the age of 15, and achieved a final sample of
2,449. These results were also weighted using information
from the demographic and health survey (DHS) to develop
representative estimates for households with children under
15, 79.8 percent according to the DHS. The UNICEF survey
included sections on household impacts as well as on the
children living within the household. Compared to the rest
of the country, markedly higher shares of respondents in the
NCD noted deteriorations since June in situations related to
theft, alcohol, and drug abuse, intimidation by police,
violence by police, and domestic abuse, as well as higher
declines in overall community trust, which can be an
indicator of rising tensions. In addition, there were
potential warning signs of the impacts of the prolonged
crisis on children, with more than one-third of children
exhibiting negative behavioral changes in the previous 15
days - though again a lack of baseline data limits the
ability to establish a causal link specifically with
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
