Abstract
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread across the world and has slowly but recently penetrated the African continent, we need to be acutely aware of how the global crisis will affect the world’s most resource-constrained countries, many of which are in Africa. As we watch more advanced economies struggling to deal with both the threat to public health and the resulting economic fallout, African countries have little time to spare in anticipating the crisis and how it will affect the national and regional situations.   While much attention has been paid globally to the public health implications of the spread of COVID-19, the economic reverberations are likely to be most acutely felt by the world’s poorest and most vulnerable populations, of which a substantial proportion are in Africa. With a general global economic slowdown anticipated, along with national and international restrictions on movement and trade, the threat may be most severe to food supply networks, and in Africa, it will only serve to further exacerbate the existing challenges and risks to food security. In particular, the reverberating economic, trade, and labor implications of the pandemic pose specific threats to the stability of agri-food value chains in Africa. This will be the focus of the presentation made by
 Dr. Scott Newman – The Delivery Manager for FAO’s Africa Regional Initiative 2: Sustainable Production Intensification and Value Chain Development, and the Senior Animal Health & Production Officer based at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations - Regional Office for Africa in Ghana.
