Some Welfare Consequences of COVID-19 in Ethiopia

Co-Organized by IFPRI and the Policy Studies Institute (PSI)

August 24, 2020

  • 4:00 – 5:30 pm (Africa/Nairobi)
  • 9:00 – 10:30 am (US/Eastern)
  • 6:30 – 8:00 pm (Asia/Kolkata)

Cross-country experience so far shows that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and responses to combat are multidimensional. It is thus reasonable to expect the occurrence of these effects in Ethiopia. Findings of several studies will be reported during this webinar. The presentations focus on the impact of COVID-19 on the welfare of mothers and children, food and nutrition security, food marketing margins, livelihoods, and poverty.
