COVID-19 and food security in Africa: Building more resilient food systems

Name	World Continuing Education Alliance
Activity Title	COVID-19 and food security in Africa: Building more resilient food systems
Details	Various actors point to threats of a looming global food crisis. In Kenya, for instance, a country-wide curfew (7 PM-5 AM) and movement ban in and out of four counties, including Nairobi, have seen smallholder farmers who produce over 70% of the food consumed in the country face high transportation fees to deliver their produce to cities. To address the immediate food security shocks brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, multiple African governments have introduced relief measures to cushion the poorest and most vulnerable segments of their populations as well as to ensure that producers have affordable access to farm inputs.
