Covid-19 Response: Second-Order Economic and Social Impact Needs

The U.S. Government will accelerate communication and collaboration with large and small businesses, and non-governmental stakeholders to mitigate the second-order impacts of COVID-19. USAID anticipates impacts across a range of sectors, including governance, the economy, rule of law, education, energy, tourism, health, agriculture, and food security. The virus will cause serious disruptions to economic and financial systems worldwide, with both short-and long-term repercussions. These disruptions may particularly impact already-vulnerable communities.
