Summary: | "This book investigates how African countries respond to socioeconomic shocks, drawing out lessons to help inform future policy and development efforts. The challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic affected all sectors of the economy, exposing substantial structural weaknesses and complexities in supply chains and logistics across the African continent. This book investigates the disruptive impact of the pandemic across Africa. However, it also goes beyond the current crisis to investigate how socioeconomic pressures in general impact commodity prices, national budgeting processes, food, business, energy sectors, education, health, and sanitation. Overall, the book presents evidence-based solutions and policy recommendations to enable readers to improve resilience and responses to future crises. The insights provided by this book will be of interest to policy makers and development agencies, as well as to researchers of global development, politics, economics, business, and African studies"-- |
