Channel: UNU-WIDER
Date: 22/11/2021

The papers in this session explore how the pandemic and the lockdowns have shaped food security and poverty outcomes, and the role of external support, such as remittances and safety nets, in mitigating the negative impacts. We also attempt to understand the variation in the degree to which people complied with the various COVID-19 mitigation measures. The session covers research done in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, and Uzbekistan.  

The session is chaired by Kalle Hirvonen, with presentations by Akim Al-Mouksit, Kibrom Tafere Hirfrfot, Saifa Raz, Kritika Singh and William Seitz.
