Abstract

Although the first case of COVID-19 in Uganda was confirmed on the 22nd of March, the Government of Uganda had undertaken several actions starting on the 18th of March, including travel restrictions, 14-day quarantine for all international arrivals, and cancellation of all international conferences and public gatherings, including, but not limited to, religious services, weddings, and concerts. On the 30th of March, the President declared a nationwide curfew from 7 pm to 6:30 am; banned public transportation; and instituted strict regulations for the movement of government and private vehicles. Vaccination campaigns began in March 2021. Uganda re-entered a partial lockdown starting on June 7th, 2021. The second lockdown was slightly longer than the first one but less strict. A presidential directive banned travel between districts, restricted gatherings, and suspended schools. As governments implement various containment measures, it is important to understand how households in the country are affected and responding to the evolving crises, so that policy responses can be designed well and targeted effectively to reduce the negative impacts on household welfare. The original objective of the UHFPS was to monitor the socio-economic effects of COVID-19 and its related restrictions. The survey has followed the evolving COVID-19 pandemic in real-time and contributed to filling critical gaps in information that could be used by the government and stakeholders to help design policies to mitigate the negative impacts on its population. Lately, the objective of the UHFPS has unfolded to track the socioeconomic effects of global crises. A new phase of the survey was inaugurated to monitor economic sentiments and the socioeconomic impact of other shocks such as the Russia-Ukraine war and extreme weather events. The UHFPS is proposed to have multiple rounds to accommodate the evolving nature of the crisis. Questionnaires are revised before each new round of surveys to adapt to crises develops. The final sample for the first round of the survey is 2,257 households selected from those of the Uganda National Panel Survey (UNPS) wave 8 that had a phone number for at least one household member or one reference individual. All households not explicitly refusing to participate in the survey are reinterviewed in the consequent rounds. The final sample for round 2 is 2199; whereas the final sample for round 3 and round 4 counts 2147 and 2136 households respectively. In Round 5, 2122 households were interviewed. In Round 6, 2100 households and Round 7, 1950 were interviewed. Round 8 has seen 1,881 households being interviewed. Round 9 counts 1871 households, Round 10 - 1668, Round 11 - 1666 , Round 12 - 1783, Round 13 - 1765, Round 14 - 1838, Round 15 - 1729, Round 16 - 1,795 , and Round 17 - 1,761 households. Weights are adjusted to be nationally representative in each round.

Sampling procedure

The sample of the COVID-19 impact survey is a subsample of the Uganda National Panel Survey (UNPS) 2019/20 (wave 8). UNPS2019/20 interviewed 3098 households of which 2333 were in the urban area and 745 in the rural area. In the panel, households are asked to provide a phone number either of their own or of a reference person (e.g. neighbor, friends...) to be reached in case the households move from their original sample location. In wave 8, 2386 households provided a phone number. To obtain a nationally representative sample for the COVID-19 Impact Survey, a sample size of approximately 1,800 successfully interviewed households was targeted. However, to reach that target, a larger pool of households needed to be selected from the frame due to the non-contact and non-response common for telephone surveys. Thus, all the households in the 2019/20 round of the UNPS that had phone numbers for at least one household member, or a reference individual were included in the initial sample. This consisted of 2227 households, which is 72% of the UNPS 2019/20 sample. Starting in round 13 (phase 3), the original UHFPS sample was complimented with a refresher sample drawn from the Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS) 2020. The sample refresher intended to overcome the high nonresponse rates accrued with the succession of rounds of data collection and due to respondents’ fatigue. The target of the new additional sample was to reestablish the sample size from the first round of the survey, therefore 650 new households were drawn from the UNHS proportionally to attrition rates in the original strata.

The carbon pricing score answers the question how close countries are to price carbon in line with carbon costs. EUR 60 is a midpoint estimate for carbon costs in 2020, and a low-end estimate for 2030. Pricing all emissions at least at EUR 60 in 2020 shows that a country is on a good track to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement to decarbonise by mid-century economically. EUR 30 is a historic low-end estimate for carbon costs, and EUR 120 is a midrange estimate for carbon costs in 2030.; The carbon pricing score answers the question how close countries price carbon emissions in line with carbon costs. EUR 120 per tonne CO2 is a central estimate for carbon costs in 2030.More generally, a carbon pricing score of 100% shows that a country prices all carbon emissions at the carbon cost estimate or more, and a carbon pricing score of 0% shows that a country does not price any carbon emissions.The carbon pricing score by country, by sector answers the question how close countries price carbon emissions in line with carbon costs within a given sector.For additional information, see Effective Carbon Rates 2021
