The effect of COVID-19 and government response measures on poor and vulnerable groups in urban areas in Ethiopia – report two
This research report is the second in a series of six reports which provide an insight into the extent to which COVID-19 and associated government responses and measures affect the urban poor and vulnerable individuals across 10 cities and towns in Ethiopia. The findings have highlighted the importance of designing policy that ensures the most vulnerable benefit from the support provided by government and other organisations, and that the process of targeting the support is transparent.
