COVID-19 sensitization along the food supply chain: Sharing knowledge to keep rural communities safe

This page features a set of knowledge sharing and visibility outputs to facilitate documentation and dissemination of emerging COVID-19 sensitization responses in countries with food crisis situations, such as Afghanistan, Mali, Pakistan and Yemen. The products rely on qualitative data collection and beneficiary-level evidence gathering carried out during on-the-ground missions.

This in-country documentation was completed as part of the 18-month-long USAID-funded project "Supporting critical agricultural value chains in food crisis countries in the context of COVID-19” focused on providing sensitization tools to eleven focus countries and capturing emerging country-level RCCE responses to the COVID-19 crisis. The project originated under the banner of Pillar IV of the FAO Global Humanitarian Appeal for COVID-19, “Ensuring food supply chain actors are not at risk of virus transmission.”
