GCRF_NF228 The COVID Observatories: Monitoring the interaction of pandemics, climate risks, & food systems among the most disadvantaged communities

土著人民（IP）被认为面临特别高的COVID风险，并因气候风险和社会经济压力而加剧。有新的证据表明，各国对这一大流行病的应对措施加剧了执行伙伴的脆弱性，而对COVID影响执行伙伴的独特途径缺乏了解（如果有的话）则加剧了这种脆弱性。该项目将通过记录、监测和研究COVID如何与多种压力相互作用，影响全球IP的粮食系统，共同产生知识和能力，以加强复原力，从而解决这一知识和政策差距。我们对食品的关注反映了一个事实，即COVID带来的许多风险来自与食品系统的相互作用，而对于知识产权而言，食品系统由传统和现代元素组成。这项工作将与14个国家的24个不同的土著人民合作开展，并围绕以下目标进行：记录COVID的出现并检查其迄今为止对粮食系统的影响;监测和检查COVID对粮食系统影响的实时生活经验，反应和观察;汇编和评估COVID是如何正式沟通和应对的;确定、审查和促进加强复原力的干预措施;并审查对中低收入国家弱势群体的可扩展见解。定性数据收集工作由社区内的“COVID观察员”网络提供支持，他们在决策中发挥作用，研究人员已经在研究地区工作，他们将在12个月的反思日记中记录他们的经验和观察，记录大流行的不同阶段以及多种因素如何随着时间的推移相互作用，从而产生脆弱性和复原力。工作的全球范围建立在研究区域团队成员正在进行和完成的项目基础上，利用了由英国国际发展部，英国国际研究所，威康信托基金，粮农组织和国际发展研究中心等资助的工作中开发的相当大的能力和网络。

Indigenous Peoples (IPs) are believed to be at particularly high risk from COVID, exacerbated by climate risks and socio-economic stresses. There is emerging evidence that national responses to the pandemic are compounding the vulnerability of IPs, exacerbated by little--if any--understanding on the unique pathways through which COVID will affect IPs. This project will address this knowledge and policy gap by documenting, monitoring, and examining how COVID is interacting with multiple stresses to affect the food systems of IPs globally, co-generating knowledge and capacity to strengthen resilience. Our focus on food reflects the fact that many of the risks posed by COVID stem from interactions with food systems, which for IPs are composed of a mix of traditional and modern elements. The work will be undertaken in collaboration with 24 distinct Indigenous peoples in 14 countries, and is structured around objectives which will: document the emergence of COVID and examine its impacts on food systems to-date; monitor and examine the real-time lived experiences, responses, and observations on COVIDs impact on food systems; compile and assess how COVID is being officially communicated and responded to; identify, examine, and promote interventions to strengthen resilience; and examine scalable insights for vulnerable populations across LMICs. Qualitative data collection is underpinned by a network of 'COVID Observers' within communities, in decision making roles, and researchers already located in the study regions, who will document their experiences and observations in reflective diaries over a 12 month period, capturing different stages of the pandemic and how multiple factors interact over time to create vulnerability and resilience. The global scope of the work builds upon ongoing and completed projects by team members in the study regions, leveraging considerable capacity and networks developed in work funded by DFID, UKRI, Wellcome Trust, FAO, and IDRC, among others.
