Gambia, The - High Frequency Phone Survey 2020-2021

The Gambia High Frequency Phone Survey was prepared and implemented in close collaboration between the World Bank and the Gambia Bureau of Statistics (GBOS) to provide timely data to inform the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to social distancing restrictions, traditional data collection techniques could not be used. As a result, phone surveys were deployed to fill data gaps and provide timely data to inform response to the pandemic. GBOS drew the sample using the sampling methodology proposed by the World Bank, finalized the questionnaire, collected and processed data.The survey was supported by the State and Peacebuilding Fund (SPF). SPF is a global fund to finance critical development operations and analysis in situations of fragility, conflict, and violence. The SPF is kindly supported by: Australia, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, as well as IBRD.
