Rapid Country Assessment: Ethiopia
COVID-19 measures, such as mobility restrictions and social-distancing, create major food system challenges in Ethiopia that affect food security. A study by Wageningen University & Research and partners revealed this deep immediate impact.
This rapid country assessment was set out to synthesise available secondary data in relation to the impact of the COVID-19 crisis and prioritise short-term challenges and actions required in Ethiopia.
