Predictors and regional prevalence of food insecurity in Ethiopia during COVID-19: a multilevel analysis

Even while food insecurity is a major issue in Ethiopia, not all its regions are at equal status. Household's food insecurity is determined by his ability to handle the problem economically, and withstand shock events like COVID-19 that subtly disrupts social and economic networks. Intervention measures taken to insure food insecurity in the country should take in to account regions' food insecurity inequalities and their vulnerability to shock event manifestations. During shocks, boosting households' ability to cope up with unexpected risk event can save the exacerbation of food insecurity problem.

Abstract

Even while food insecurity is a major issue in Ethiopia, not all its regions are at equal status. Household's food insecurity is determined by his ability to handle the problem economically, and withstand shock events like COVID-19 that subtly disrupts social and economic networks. Intervention measures taken to insure food insecurity in the country should take in to account regions' food insecurity inequalities and their vulnerability to shock event manifestations. During shocks, boosting households' ability to cope up with unexpected risk event can save the exacerbation of food insecurity problem.
