The ongoing pandemic has led several national statistical offices in Asia and the Pacific to conduct rapid assessment surveys on the impact of COVID-19. Some of these surveys have taken the form of knowledge, attitude and practices assessments, while others have collected more comprehensive information on the social and/or economic impact of the pandemic.
This third session of the Stats Café, organized by ESCAP, ILO and UNICEF, is aimed at exchanging experience and lessons from conducting rapid assessment surveys, of both households and businesses, on the impact of COVID-19.
The Stats Café session will cover:
