23. Assessing and Mitigating the Food Insecurity Consequences of COVID-19 on Marginalized Refugees and Migrants in Cape Town, South Africa

Adopting a mixed methods approach including surveys, key informant interviews, and participatory methods, the project will apply a gender-sensitive analysis to explore the food insecurity experiences of Somali, Congolese and Zimbabwean migrants and refugees during the COVID-19 pandemic in Cape Town, South Africa. It aims to provide critical decision-making and pandemic response data to local stakeholders and inform food policy responses. Data from this project will be compared with data from Kitchener-Waterloo in Canada and Quito in Ecuador.
