Abstract: Data collection will leverage an existing longitudinal cohort, and domains we aim to assess include 1) knowledge, attitudes and practices related to COVID-19 prevention; 2) schooling; 3) livelihoods and food security; and 4) psychosocial well-being. It is hoped that this information can be used to inform the design, redirection and implementation arrangements of response measures from the Government of Tanzania. The evaluation team comprises members from TASAF and TACAIDS, UNICEF, University at Buffalo, EDI Global, and St. Francis University College of Health and Allied Sciences (SFUCHAS).
