GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC – The Guyana-based Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat Monday announced the launch of the second round of the Caribbean coronavirus (COVID-19) Food Security and Livelihoods Survey.
It said following the first round in April that highlighted the loss of livelihoods and impacts on food security in the initial stages of the COVID-19 response, “this round aims to capture the current status of affairs and illustrate how livelihoods, food security, and markets have shifted over the last two months.”
The Secretariat said that the survey is open to all CARICOM member states and Associate Members, as well as Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten until July 6.
The survey is being conducted by the United Nations World Food Programme on behalf of CARICOM and is made possible by the European Union Civil Protection and Humanitarian Operations and United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance.
Your participation will play a large part in providing an overview of the impact of COVID-19 on food security and livelihoods in your country or territory,” the Secretariat added.
