  • 3:00 – 4:30 pm (Africa/Kigali)
  • 9:00 – 10:30 am (US/Eastern)
  • 6:30 – 8:00 pm (Asia/Kolkata)

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.
