Launch of the Study on the Socio-Economic Impacts of the Ebola Virus Disease on Africa
| dc.description | TLaunch of the Study on the Socio-Economic Impacts of the Ebola Virus Disease on Africa 15 December 2014, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This synthesis report is based on three national studies on the evolution of the Ebola epidemic and its impact on Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The report raises the alarm on the risk of a rise in mortality of diseases not related to Ebola and also points out the wider impacts of the virus on the livelihoods of those affected. Educational systems, rising social stigma, unemployment, and decreased food security are some of the big issues that Ebola-affected countries must deal with, according to the report. The overall objective is to assess the socioeconomic impacts on countries and Africa as a whole, both the real costs entailed and growth and development prospects, so as to devise policy recommendations to accompany mitigation efforts. Carlos Lopes United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA states that the size of the economies of the three countries is so small. The impact is going to be extremely reduced. In fact, we had zero growth in the three countries, not yet what is predicted by most forecasters including the national authorities. | en |
