Economic Impacts of COVID-19 on Growth, Poverty and Food Systems in Malawi: Initial Results
to
IFPRI-Malawi is organizing a webinar on initial results undertaken by IFPRI of the modeling of the short-term economic impacts of COVID-19 in Malawi. Two scenarios are considered: (a) 2 months of social distancing plus external shocks in April/May; (b) the proposed (but not implemented) 21-day lockdown plus social distancing and external shocks, each followed by either fast or slow lifting of restrictions during the rest of 2020.
