“…COVID-19 disrupted economies and health systems across the globe, stressing agri-food supply chains in ways that threaten access to affordable diets worldwide. Global monitoring and response has focused on the supply of agricultural commodities traded on international markets ( AMIS, 2022 ; FAO 2022a , FAO-IFAD-the World Bank-WFP, 2020 ; WCO-WTO 2020 ), while individual country studies have focused on conditions in specific places that may not be representative of the global population ( Pandey et al, 2022 ; Rudin-Rush et al, 2022 ; Tabe-Ojong et al, 2022 ). These analyses highlighted the importance of safety nets and continued cross-border flows from areas of surplus to areas of deficit.…”

This paper provides insights into the potential implication of public assistance on food insecurity in the Togolese population during the Covid-19 period. The Oaxaca–Blinder Non-Linear decomposition technique and binary logit model were applied to Data of Round 8 of Afrobarometer of Togo. The empirical results reveal that women were more food insecure in Togo during the Covid-19 period. This particular vulnerability of women was explained by the difference in economic resources, place of residence, and response measures put in place by the State. However, the public assistance received has helped to reduce the gaps observed in food insecurity. The study reveals the importance of public assistance measures, especially those based on gender, during shocks that may occur in an economy.
