The implementation of this survey was carried out using satellite images to constitute the sampling frame. This survey covered a sample of 23,5040 households divided into 960 enumeration zones within 26 provinces across the country.\n\nIn late January 2025, the security crisis in the DRC took a dramatic turn, when in its eastern part (the two provinces on North and South Kivus), the M23 rebellion took over the capital cities. Several questions were raised, including the socio-economic impact of the war on the well-being of the population. During these times of socio-economic upheaval, households are often impacted in terms of deterioration of living conditions. It is therefore important to assess the impacts that households experienced during this crisis by setting up a collection system via telephone. This is an innovative survey that is perfectly in line with the requirements related to a better monitoring\/evaluation system for development programs initiated by the authorities. To this end, Eastern DRC High Frequency Phone Survey 2025 follows a panel sample of 2000 representative households from the ECVM 2024 household living conditions survey for a period of six months to assess the impact of the security situation on their living conditions","coll_dates":[{"start":"2025-05-15","end":"2025-06-07","cycle":"1"}],"nation":[{"name":"Congo, Dem.
