<p>The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented disruptions to Africa—reducing earnings and increasing poverty and food insecurity. Africa faces a dual public health and economic crisis that risks overwhelming healthcare systems, destroying livelihoods, and slowing the region’s growth prospects for years to come. Post-COVID-19 African economic development policy would therefore need to be centered around both improving resiliency and accelerating transformation to realize sustained economic welfare gains. Strategies for resiliency should build on the COVID-19 experience, helping households, communities, and countries to strengthen coping measures that reduce losses thus allowing for a faster recovery, and investing to adapt to and mitigate the effects of future shocks&#8230;.</p>

<p>As every nation was struggling and continues to struggle to contain COVID-19, one of the most pressing challenges for governments, public health officials, and humanitarians has been the fact that misinformation about the pandemic seems to spread almost as quickly as the virus itself. Such misinformation is dangerous in any context, but particularly so in fragile places dealing with conflict and weak governance, where false narratives are often weaponized against marginalized groups. As such, providing the right information to the public is necessary&#8230;.</p>

<p>The COVID-19 pandemic is harming health, social and economic well-being worldwide, particularly with women at the centre. In Africa, women are leading the health response: women make up almost 70 per cent of the health care workforce, exposing them to a greater risk of infection. At the same time, women are also shouldering much of the burden at home, especially given school and child care facility closures at the height of the pandemic in an effort to curb the spread. Women also face high risks of job and income loss and at this time of the pandemic where economic recessions have forced companies to scale down operations, most women have found themselves first on the chopping board&#8230;.</p>

<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all sectors of economies globally. In Africa, the crisis has drastically impacted food security. Supply chains, food and nutrition security, current and future production functions, have been negatively impacted by a host of factors related to the COVID- 19 crisis. Not only did the continent experience a major disruption to food supply chains in the wake of lockdowns triggered by the global health crisis, but also a major global economic slowdown. These crises have resulted in lower incomes and higher prices of some foods, putting food out of reach for many, and undermining the right to food&#8230;.</p>

<p>In this episode of Africa Health Check, we look at how the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic recession have negatively affected many people’s mental health and created new barriers for people already suffering from mental illness. There are a variety of ways the pandemic has likely affected mental health, particularly with widespread social isolation resulting from necessary safety measures. Throughout the pandemic, many people across the continent have experienced job or income loss, which has generally affected their mental health through increase in anxiety and depression&#8230;.</p>
