Country profiles
- Cofinanciado por la Unión Europea
Esta serie de perfiles de país describe la reacción de los países ante la COVID-19, y, en concreto: (i) las medidas y políticas adoptadas por los gobiernos para contener la expansión del virus; (ii) las medidas y políticas para estabilizar y garantizar el funcionamiento de los sistema agroalimentarios; (iii) los posibles efectos de dichas políticas sobre los sistemas agroalimentarios y los grupos más vulnerables. Finalmente, los perfiles también evalúan las opciones y posibilidades que ofrecen las inversiones y las políticas agroalimentarias a largo plazo para dar lugar a sistemas más resilientes.
La serie ha sido producida por el programa FIRST (Impacto, resiliencia, sostenibilidad y transformación para la seguridad alimentaria y la nutrición) en estrecha colaboración con los gobiernos y las representaciones de la FAO y las delegaciones de la Unión Europea en los países. En algunos casos, FIRST ha unido sus fuerzas con la Red mundial contra las crisis alimentarias para realizar este ejercicio.

National agrifood systems and COVID-19 in Liberia
When the pandemic began, the National Incident Management System (IMS) was activated under the central command of the MoH. Immediately after detecting the index case, the government declared a health emergency. The MoA called an emergency meeting of the Agriculture Donor Working Group, requested the establishment of a food security cluster and drafted an emergency food security plan. FAO supported the preparation of the plan. A Special Presidential Advisory Committee on Corona Virus (SPACO) was established in February, under the chairmanship of the President. On 7 April, an Executive Committee on Corona Virus (ECOC) was established as the operational arm of the SPACO. Health experts, cabinet officials and members of the international and donor communities support these bodies; their responsibilities include helping to contain the virus and ease its impact on livelihoods and the economy.
