我们评估了2019冠状病毒病对肯尼亚和乌干达家庭收入和粮食安全使用的影响。超过三分之二的家庭经历了收入冲击，粮食安全状况恶化。在收入贫困和依赖劳动收入的家庭中，粮食安全结果更糟。依赖劳动力和收入较差的家庭采用以食物为基础的应对策略。与全国社保基金相比，加入储蓄团体更有可能减轻成员的收入冲击。本研究利用来自442名受访者的在线调查数据，评估了2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对肯尼亚和乌干达两个东非国家家庭收入和粮食安全的影响。结果显示，超过三分之二的受访者因新冠肺炎危机而遭受收入冲击。从粮食不安全体验量表和食用营养丰富食品的频率来看，粮食安全和饮食质量出现恶化。在肯尼亚和乌干达，粮食不安全答复者的比例分别增加了38%和44%，在这两个国家，与正常时期（大流行之前）相比，在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，水果的常规消费量减少了约30%。概率回归结果显示，与其他调查对象类别相比，收入贫困家庭和依赖劳动收入的家庭在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间更容易受到收入冲击的影响，其食品消费水平也更低。因此，与那些追求替代生计的人相比，他们更有可能采用以食物为基础的应对策略，后者通常依赖储蓄。与在很大程度上依赖市场粮食来源的其他受访者类别相比，农民不太可能经历粮食安全恶化。在这两个国家，参与国家社会保障计划不太可能减轻受访者在2019冠状病毒病期间的收入冲击。相反，储蓄和贷款团体的成员与遭受收入冲击和减少食品消费的可能性较小相关。研究结果表明，当前和未来的政府应对措施应侧重于社会保障的结构性变化，制定应对方案，为因此类流行病而陷入贫困的成员提供缓冲，同时建立强大的金融机构，支持企业在中期复苏，并确保粮食供应链的弹性，特别是那些提供营养丰富食品的供应链的弹性。
We assessed COVID-19 implications on household income and food security using in Kenya and Uganda. More than two-thirds of households experienced income shocks and worsened food security. Food security outcomes were worse among the income poor and households dependent on labour income. Labour-dependent and income poor households employed food-based coping strategies. Membership in savings groups was more likely to mitigate member’s income shocks than NSSF. This study assessed implications of the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic on household income and food security in two East African countries – Kenya and Uganda, using online survey data from 442 respondents. Results show that more than two-thirds of the respondents experienced income shocks due to the COVID-19 crisis. Food security and dietary quality worsened, as measured by the food insecurity experience scale and the frequency of consumption of nutritionally-rich foods. The proportion of food insecure respondents increased by 38% and 44% in Kenya and Uganda respectively, and in both countries, the regular consumption of fruits decreased by about 30% during the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to a normal period (before the pandemic). Results from probit regressions show that the income-poor households and those dependent on labour income were more vulnerable to income shock, and had poorer food consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to other respondent categories. As such, they were more likely to employ food-based coping strategies compared to those pursuing alternative livelihoods, who generally relied on savings. Farmers were less likely to experience worsened food security compared to other respondent categories who depended to a great extent on market sources for food. In both countries, participation in national social security schemes was less likely to mitigate respondents’ income shock during the COVID-19 period. Conversely, membership in savings and loan groups was correlated with less likelihood of suffering income shocks and reduction in food consumption. The results suggest that ongoing and future government responses should focus on structural changes in social security by developing responsive packages to cushion members pushed into poverty by such pandemics while building strong financial institutions to support the recovery of businesses in the medium term, and ensuring the resilience of food supply chains particularly those making available nutrient-dense foods.
