COVID-19 worsened urban food insecurity in Uganda – women most affected
A study by EfD Uganda researchers has revealed stark gender differences in the impact of COVID-19 on food security among Uganda’s urban poor, with female-headed households bearing the brunt of the crisis.
The findings were presented at a stakeholder dissemination meeting held in Kampala. The research focused on Kawempe Division, one of Kampala’s most densely populated and low-income areas. The study showed that urban households, especially those relying on informal employment, were disproportionately affected due to low and unstable incomes.
