ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed vulnerabilities and highlighted the need to ensure that post-COVID-19 food systems are more inclusive and resilient to future shocks. The 2021 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) focuses on evidence to inform strategies for building more resilient African food systems after COVID-19. The report (1) assesses the impacts of COVID-19 on different aspects of Africa’s food systems, (2) examines the responses of African governments to the crisis, including the expansion of social protection programs, and (3) discusses tools, methodologies, and approaches to measure the impacts of crises and to assess the resilience of individuals, communities, and countries.
