Impact of COVID-19 on Food Systems and Rural Livelihoods in Nigeria – Round 1 Report
This report assesses agricultural commercialisation, food and nutrition security, labour and employment, and poverty and well-being
Abstract
This report presents an early assessment of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on agricultural commercialisation, food and nutrition security, labour and employment, and poverty and well-being in rural Nigeria. Data was collected from a stratified random sample of 110 respondent households drawn from five Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Ogun (Ijebu East, Obafemi Owode, and Imeko Afon) and Kaduna (Chikun and Soba) States. At the time of the survey, these LGAs had reported a small number of COVID-19 cases. The survey data is complemented by insights from five in-depth key informant interviews conducted in the LGAs. The APRA COVID-19 data collection will be carried out over three rounds. This report presents insights obtained from the first round implemented during mid-July 2020.
This work is part of the APRA (Agricultural Policy Research Policy in Africa) Programme
