The COVID-19 pandemic had profound short- and long-term impacts on smallholders in rural, peri-urban and urban areas, exacerbating poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition, especially among vulnerable groups such as women, children, Indigenous Peoples and persons with disabilities. Restrictions on movement disrupted agricultural livelihoods, affecting health, incomes and food systems, including production, processing and distribution. Recovery efforts required comprehensive, multi-risk management approaches to build resilience, restore livelihoods and reduce vulnerability to future shocks through early disaster response and livelihood enhancement. This subprogramme focused on three COVID-19 affected, low- and middle-income countries across three regions: Guatemala (Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean), Mali (Regional Office for Africa) and Myanmar (Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific). It aimed to safeguard people dependent on agriculture and food-based livelihoods who were vulnerable to or already affected by the pandemic and other crises.
