Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
Starting in August 2020, the World Bank in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP)began conducting a monthly phone survey to collect socioeconomic microdata to assess howIraqis had fared during the COVID-19 pandemic on a nationally representative sample. With thefinancial support from the World Bank – UNHCR Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement, thesurvey for October 2020 through January 2021 rounds extended the sample size in the North andKurdistan regions to include separate strata for vulnerable Iraqis who had been displaced due tothe ISIL conflict. The short and repeated household phone-survey collected information on keyindicators such as employment, food insecurity, subjective wellbeing and access to market,healthcare, and education to identify the most vulnerable groups and assess their needs.
The objective of the Iraq High Frequency Phone Survey 2020/21 is to monitor the impact of COVID-19 and the economic downturn on Iraqi individuals and households, and consequently better inform government mitigation policies – in the short- and medium-run. The short and repeated household phone-survey collected information on key indicators such as employment, food insecurity, subjective wellbeing and access to market, healthcare, and education to identify the most vulnerable groups and assess their needs. The phone survey was implemented on a monthly basis to monitor changes over time.

Sampling
IDP Sample
Almost all the IDPs in Iraq are located in the three governorates of Kurdistan region and five governorates of Northern region. Therefore, the coverage of the mobile phone survey for IDP sample was limited to those two regions and create 4 strata: Duhok (stratum 1), Erbil and Sulaimaniya (stratum 2), Nineveh (stratum 3) and rest of northern region i.e., Kirkuk, Diyala, Anber and Salah Al-deen (stratum 4).
Returnee Sample
The forced displaced households that have returned recently are concentrated in the five governorates of Northern region mostly in Nineveh and Anber. The 5 governorates were grouped in to 3 strata - Nineveh (stratum 1), Anber (stratum 2) and rest (stratum 3). A total of 200 Returning IDPs were proposed to be interviewed within a stratum. The proposed sample size of 600 interviews allows to track the change of 10% or over over-time.
