Sharing with you Street Child UK’s (SCUK) recent and highly interesting global COVID-19 rapid assessment , which was published last week. SCUK interviewed over 12,100 respondents across 13 countries, including the 6 protracted crisis settings. With the help of a network of 50+ national partners, they asked questions on COVID-19 prevention and preparedness, on protection, education and household coping capacities.

The findings from a protection perspective are highly concerning, and also very worrying in terms of nutrition: the major issues driving negative coping strategies, such as rising cost of living and the loss of income and livelihoods, were already taking their toll at the point of assessment in early May. Over half reported already restricting meals, with 17% eating seed stocks and 18% selling productive or domestic assets.
