                    [post_content] => Reflections by Dr. Andrew Nevin, Price Waterhouse Cooper Nigeria, 5 April 2020
The Dahdaleh Institute invited Dr. Andrew Nevin, a Partner and Chief Economist at PWC Nigeria, to offer his views on core structural imperatives in dealing with COVID-19 in Africa beyond healthcare responses.
In the absence of a climate effect, Dr. Nevin warns African countries are headed for a humanitarian crisis in part due to weak healthcare systems, vulnerable populations, limited risk messaging, overcrowded housing and other difficulties with socially distancing. He anticipates the impacts in Africa could include:

Significant reduction in daily wages;
Breakdown of food supply chains;
Inability of the public sector to function virtually;
Strong private sector response in managing their businesses;
Confusion about who is in charge, and
Lack of information.

Based on these anticipated impacts, Dr. Nevin identified the following non-health system related priorities for African countries for COVID-19:

Direct transfers to the bottom of the pyramid to replace purchasing power;
Ensuring that food supply chains keep working;
Getting organized private sector to support the public sector (e.g. national emergency committees as decision-making bodies with government and industry partners);
Rapid and coordinated economic support and debt relief by international finance institutions; and
Reflect on possible structural change (e.g. economic decentralization) following response

                    [post_content] => In addition to wide-spread reports of food shortages in India, the nationwide 21-day lockdown has led to a mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of people from major urban areas, increasing the risk of local transmission in rural parts of the country.
There is concern that the true outbreak size in India may be significantly higher than the 2,567 confirmed cases, which has doubled in just two days.
