Purpose

February 2021 - As the global COVID-19 pandemic stretches into its second year, its secondary impacts on the lives and livelihoods of some of the world’s most vulnerable people continue to worsen. One of the most critical impacts is the deterioration in food security, as COVID-19 restrictions have halted economies and destroyed livelihoods. The pandemic has deepened existing hunger crises in the world’s humanitarian hotspots and pushed vulnerable communities, previously on the brink of crisis, over the edge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.
