COVID-19 Poverty Monitor
How is COVID-19 impacting the poorest and those at risk of impoverishment? What policies are needed to address the negative social and economic impacts of the pandemic?
CPAN’s COVID-19 Poverty Monitoring Initiative combines interviews with people living in or near poverty, well-evidenced analysis, and perspectives from leading experts to provide a full picture of the measures needed to support those most adversely affected. See our latest bulletins below, find out more about how we conducted our research, or suggest external resources or themes we should explore in this research.
Explore the research in nine countries using the map below.
Over the coming months, CPAN will be publishing regular bulletins on the impacts of COVID-19 on poverty in the Philippines, Ethiopia, India, Malawi, Zambia, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. These new countries add to the analysis and interviews carried out in Kenya and Nepal during 2020.
