COVID-19 Update Report No. 4 (Executive Summary)

Abstract

This report captures key impacts of COVID-19, and the corresponding government response, on the agriculture market system in Uganda. It is based on our analysis of more than 250 sources, including open-source data, articles, and reports, combined with targeted key informant interviews and insights derived from our system maps. This report provides updates to our previous analysis, as well as a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on smallholder farmers. We also discuss which components of the agricultural market system should be monitored over the next few months in order to evaluate the impact on the system moving forward.
