Cash transfers for food security and mitigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Zimbabwe

active

In addition to health consequences, the Covid-19 pandemic in Zimbabwe is expected to have serious economic consequences, which will particularly affect poor urban populations, whose largely informal income-generating activities will be impaired or eliminated. This has significant consequences for the nutritional situation, especially for children, women and the elderly. In order to mitigate these effects, the target group will be supported with cash transfers and information on nutrition, health and hygiene in cooperation with the United Nations Children's Fund, UNICEF.
