The Conversation (Africa) published an op-ed by Senior Research Fellow Stuart Gillespie. He wrote that the epidemic and malnutrition, together, will generate long-wave impacts, for years to come. They are also likely to interact with each other – badly. “This will be particularly true in countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Many of these countries’ governments, health and food systems, communities and households have limited capacity to respond to nutritional challenges or to an epidemic.” Republished in several international outlets including The Conversation (Australia), Premium Times Nigeria, Modern Ghana, Global English (MENA Financial Network), Foreign Affairs (New Zealand).
