MaNews.com (Rwanda News Agency) published an article based on the framework of the implementation of the Voice for Change Partnership Project (V4CP) with the financial support of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs via SNV-RWANDA and IFPRI. The article states that the Covid-19 pandemic has had negative effects on the nutrition of households in Rwanda, especially the less fortunate, to the point that it could lead to acute malnutrition again for some populations.
