COVID-19 and its impact on Ethiopia’s agri-food system, food security, and nutrition

Co-Organized by IFPRI, Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI) Training Centre, Policy Studies Institute (PSI), and International Growth Centre (IGC)

May 14, 2020

  • 4:00 – 5:15 pm (Africa/Addis_Ababa)
  • 9:00 – 10:15 am (US/Eastern)
  • 6:30 – 7:45 pm (Asia/Kolkata)

The COVID-19 crisis is creating havoc globally. Ethiopia is affected as well. While the number of COVID-19 cases is still rather low, the Government of Ethiopia has taken several measures to reduce the possible spread of the virus. However, it is yet unclear what the impact is of these measures and of the international economic slow-down in Ethiopia.

During the webinar, recent research carried out in Ethiopia will be presented, and participants will have the opportunity to interact and send questions. We invite interested researchers, policy makers, programmatic decision makers, and other stakeholders to attend this virtual event.
