About the research
This study systematically reconstructs, documents and analyses how the Ethiopian national and regional governments and non-state actors take equity into account in policy responses and interventions since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. A mixed method approach that combines both quantitative and qualitative data from primary and secondary sources will be used. This study will identify the mitigation
measures and policy responses by various actors and the inclusiveness and equity of policy actions. Moreover, the study provides scientifc evidence on the origin of policy responses and experiences drawn to develop own policies, limitations of policies, lessons learnt and how policy affected different social groups. In addition, the role of actors engaged in policies, power and governance impacts and innovations developed in response to COVID-19 will be studied. The study will bridge science and policy and provide policy briefs.
