2021 Annual trends and outlook report: Building resilient African food systems after COVID-19

The 2021 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) focuses on building resilient African food systems after COVID-19. It examines emerging data on the impacts of COVID-19 on African economies and food systems, reviews the responses of African countries to the pandemic, and advances the discussion on methodologies to measure the impacts of and resilience to shocks. Although the report is centered around COVID-19, its lessons are applicable beyond the currentcrisis. The pandemic, a uniquely wide-ranging challenge that combined features of previous health, economic and food price shocks, reminds us of the breadth of risks and challenges that food systems must continue to withstand into the future. The report argues for a broader conceptualization of resilience that encompasses climate risks as well as the wider range of shocks that threaten progress toward transformed food systems and economies.1| Introduction: Building Resilient African Food Systems After COVID–19 1 2| Africa: Food Security And Agricultural Trade During The COVID-19 Pandemic 7 3| The Impact Of COVID-19 On Staple Food Prices: Location Matters 25 4| Impact Of COVID-19-Related Global Trade Disruptions On African Food Systems 46 5| Assessing The Vulnerability Of West And Central African Countries To COVID-19 66 6| Assessing African Economic Policy Responses To COVID-19 81 7| Delivery Of Social Protection Programs To Combat COVID-19 In Africa 100 8| Rethinking The Role Of Social Protection In African Food Systems Post- COVID-19 112 9| Remote Sensing And Machine Learning For Food Crop Production Data In Africa Post- COVID-19 128 10| Measuring Progress Toward The Malabo Declaration Goals In The Midst Of COVID-19: A Measurement Approach For A Health Systems-Sensitive Resilience Score 155 11| The Measurement Of Resilience Capacities Through The Integration Of Macrolevel And Microlevel Indicators 171 12| Methods Of Assessment Of The Impact Of COVID-19 On Community Dietary Patterns 184 13| A Consumer–Food Security Nexus Framework Analysis For Resilient Agrifood Value Chains 194 14| Tracking Key Caadp Indicators And Implementation Processes 215 15| Ator 2021: Summary And Conclusions 238PRIFPRI2; 1 Fostering Climate-Resilient and Sustainable Food Supply; 2 Promoting Healthy Diets and Nutrition for all; Feed the Future Initiative; ReSAKSSAF
