Launch of the Report-Socio Economic Impacts of the Ebola Virus Diseases on Africa
| dc.description | The report on the Ebola virus's socio-economic impacts on Africa was launched on 15 December 2014 in Addis Ababa at United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. The report raised the alarm on the risk of a rise in mortality of diseases not related to Ebola and also pointed out the broader impacts of the virus on the livelihoods of those affected. Educational systems, rising social stigma, unemployment, and decreased food security are some of the significant issues that Ebola-affected countries must deal with, according to the report. Carlos Lopes, the Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa, noted that the most affected social and economic situation in the three affected countries is dramatic, and the crisis for Africa as a continent is exaggerated. Lopes said: "In Africa, we are dealing with a stigma that is growing by the day, and this is going to affect economies that have nothing to do with Ebola." | en |
