COVID-19 in Africa

The COVID-19 pandemic in Africa has, as in other parts of the world, an enormous impact on all aspects of life. A vast body of literature is developing on the COVID-19 outbreak in Africa and its social, economical, and political consequences.

This ‘growing’ web dossier consists of scientific publications on this subject. On the occasion of the NVAS Africa Day 2021 about 'Entrepreneurial responses to COVID-19 in Africa' on 16 October 2021, this dossier has been updated with an introduction by co-organiser Maud van Merrienboer. Also an extensive overview of relevant web resources has been included. Also see INCLUDE's extensive page on COVID-19 and its Equity in COVID-19 research programme.

This web dossier will no longer be updated. To keep receiving daily updates on scientific publications on COVID-19 in Africa, subscribe to the ASCL Library alert service on COVID-19 in Africa.

Introduction

On 14 February 2020, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in Egypt. Shortly after, the virus reached sub-Saharan Africa with a case reported in Nigeria at the end of February 2020. Within three months, the virus spread had throughout the continent. The true number of COVID-19 cases remains elusive due to suspected widespread underreporting, yet it has become clear that the mortality rate of the virus is relatively low in Africa compared to other continents. This is partially attributed to the young demographic and lack of long-term care facilities for the elderly. Vaccine uptake has been slow. Despite the African Union pronouncing that it had secured 300 million vaccine doses in January 2021, and the COVAX initiative to distribute vaccines to lower-income countries, only four per cent of the population is fully vaccinated in September 2021.

Naturally, the global pandemic has severely impacted all spheres of life in Africa. Many regions in Africa have been dealing with lengthy corona measures, such as lockdowns and market closure. In addition to social, psychological, and political consequences, African economies are hit hard, partly due to Africa’s reliance on the global supply chain and the drying up of external financial flows. Although the economic impact of the pandemic differs greatly both between and within countries, the pandemic and measures employed to contain its spread have taken their toll, whilst disparately impacting SME-dominant sectors such as tourism, trade, and services.

What role does entrepreneurship play in the post-COVID 19 era in Africa? The annual NVAS Africa Day aims to explore this question. Within the theme ‘Entrepreneurial Responses to COVID-19 in Africa’ scholars and practioners will come together on Saturday 16 October to discuss the role of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) in the aftermath of a global pandemic in Africa.

Whilst unemployment rates are rising and economic activity is expected to have a broad downturn due to an increase in risk on both the demand- and supply side, there are also signals that entrepreneurship has the potential to provide a way for society to recover from the crisis. Innovations in the realm of healthcare, education, and social protection have emerged across the continent. According to a WHO Africa study, 12.8 per cent of technologies developed globally in response to the pandemic are in Africa. Africa’s young demographic gives entrepreneurs an advantage in adopting new technologies and gives the continent a chance to leapfrog in terms of innovation.

The ASCL Web dossier 'COVID-19 in Africa' aims to document and share scientific publications and useful links pertaining to the global pandemic. Below you can find links pertaining to a wide area of subjects, including but not limited to entrepreneurship, and region-specific information on the impact of COVID-19. The web dossier will be regularly updated with additional relevant material.
