Resumen
Descripción
The paper provides evidence on the
evolving socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic
among households in Ethiopia, Malawi, Nigeria, and Uganda.
The data allow estimating the immediate economic impacts of
the pandemic, beginning in April 2020, and tracking how the
situation evolved through September 2020. Although
households have started to see recovery in income, business
revenues, and food security, the gains have been relatively
modest. Additionally, households have received very little
outside assistance and their ability to cope with shocks
remains limited. School closures have created a vacuum in
education delivery and school-aged children have struggled
to receive education services remotely.
