COVID-19 Update Report No. 1

Abstract

The preventative measures imposed by the Government of Uganda to curb the spread of COVID-19 are likely to have an impact on various components of the agricultural market system, which could aggregate into broader systemic effects. The Market System Monitoring team is conducting an analysis of the agricultural market system to anticipate the impact of COVID-19 and these preventative measures. This first assessment is based on our previous knowledge of the system, as well as consultations with a few key stakeholders. We will be updating our analysis as we gather more information and as the situation changes.
