World Bank Living Standards Measurement Study High-Frequency Phone Surveys

The Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) is supporting longitudinal high-frequency phone surveys in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Malawi, Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda to routinely monitor the socio-economic impacts of shocks.

Initially motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, high-frequency phone surveys have been rolled out rapidly since 2020 across low- and middle-income countries with limited experience with phone-based data collection.
