Impacts of Global Shocks on Poverty, Hunger, and Diets
Event Information
Please join us for a presentation by Xinshen Diao and James Thurlow with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) on their latest round of country impact modeling.
This analysis examines the impact of recent and potential global shocks on poverty, hunger, and diets across 17 countries. These shocks include the COVID-19 pandemic, high global commodity prices, and a potential global economic slowdown in 2023.
This presentation will provide an overview of the analyses completed to date as well as a moderated discussion on the implications for the USAID response. We look forward to you joining the conversation.
