| Summary: | In January 2021, the second wave of
the Somalia high frequency phone survey has been
administered, calling 2,811 households to see the impact of
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on people’s behavior and
livelihood. The first wave has been conducted in June 2020,
and compared to that, the adoption of preventive measures
such as washing hands and wearing mask was less widespread
in the second wave, while over 90 percent of people
expressed interest in getting tested and vaccinated. The
overall employment rate seems to have improved from the
first wave, but still the majority of households (79
percent) reported the further income reduction. Food
insecurity has clearly worsened compared to the first wave
while government and non-government assistance appears to
have reduced greatly since 2020, which strongly suggests the
need of further support to the Somalis, especially the most
vulnerable groups including internally displaced populations
(IDPs) and nomadic households. |
