Food Insecurity and Gendered Strategies among Migrants in Ghanaian Slum Communities in Post-COVID-19 Times

This study seeks to examine the food security experiences of internal migrants in selected urban slum communities in Ghana. The study will examine their gendered coping strategies towards addressing food security. Specifically, this study seeks to 1) identify the various food security challenges encountered by internal migrants in the recent past before the onset of COVID-19 as well as post-COVID times (2019 & 2021 respectively); 2) identify the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of internal migrants who experienced food security challenges over the period of interest (pre and post-COVID period) and the extent of their vulnerability; and 3) examine the coping strategies employed by both male and female internal migrants to addressing their food security challenges.
