Summary
The assessment objective was to evaluate the impact of the current EVD outbreak on the food security and livelihoods situation. The effects of EVD are complex and indirect effects also play a major role to understand the impact of this epidemic. Therefore, two different “affected” categories based on EVD incidence level (number of EVD cases per county) and direct effects through quarantines have been created. Southern counties, although less directly affected by EVD incidence, also appear to have major food security concerns due to a combination of indirect effects of EVD and their structural constraints.
