Resumen
Descripción
To monitor the rapidly changing economic
landscape due to Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), the National
Institute of Statistics of Djibouti (INSD), with the
technical assistance from the World Bank, conducted a second
wave of the COVID phone survey from September 20 to October
18, 2020. The sample, consisting of 1,460 complete
interviews, combined a panel of households interviewed
during the first wave, to which a replacement sample was
added to compensate for attrition. The response rate stands
at 85 percent nationally and the results are representative
of the country’s urban population except for the top
wealth quintile (richest 20 percent). Since mid-May, when
the lockdown ended, economic activities have been trending
back to normal. In times of COVID-19, households contend
with significant challenges regarding access to food, a key
element of food insecurity. The survey uncovers that 40
percent of the households are worried about not having
enough food due to a lack of economic resources. Despite the
challenging health and economic context, many households
remained optimistic about the future.
