Summary
The COVID-19 pandemic was a shock at an unprecedented scale, but shocks will continue, and it is critical to understand how they can affect access to nutritious diets and how governments can respond. The aim of this brief is to unpack how COVID-19 impacted nutrition via its effects on the affordability of nutrient-adequate diets specifically in the Asia Pacific region and to highlight examples of policy tools implemented to specifically target food security and nutrition.
