<\/div>

The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), in a new report on the coronavirus pandemic, says over 300,000 Africans could lose their lives due to COVID-19. This, as the pandemic continues to impact on the Continent\u2019s struggling economies whose growth is expected to slow down from 3.2 percent to 1.8 percent in a best-case scenario, pushing close to 27 million people into extreme poverty.<\/p>\n

The Report, which will be launched virtually on the 17th<\/sup>\u00a0of April and is titled,\u00a0COVID-19: Protecting African Lives and Economies<\/em>\u00a0says Africa\u2019s fragile health systems could see additional costs being imposed on them because of the growing crisis that has to-date, resulted in over 16,000 infected Africans and claimed over 800 lives at the time of the report\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo protect and build towards the Continent\u2019s shared prosperity, $100 billion is needed to urgently and immediately provide fiscal space to all countries to help address the immediate safety net needs of the populations,\u201d reiterates Vera Songwe, UN Under Secretary-General and Executive Secretary, Economic Commission for Africa.<\/p>\n

Africa, notes Ms. Songwe is particularly susceptible because 56 percent of its urban population is concentrated in slums or informal dwellings and only 34 percent of African households have access to basic handwashing facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe economic costs of the Pandemic have been harsher than the direct impact of the COVID-19.\u00a0 Across the continent, all economies are suffering from the sudden shock to the economies. The physical distancing needed to manage the pandemic is suffocating and drowning economic activity,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

The Report notes that Africa\u2019s small and medium enterprises risk complete closure if there is no immediate support. Furthermore, the price of oil, which accounts for 40 percent of Africa\u2019s exports has halved in value, and major African exports, such as textiles and fresh-cut flowers have crashed. Tourism, which accounts for up to 38 percent of some African countries\u2019 GDP, has effectively halted as has the airline industry that supports it.<\/p>\n

On partnerships, the Report underscores that African economies are interconnected; the response to the crisis \u2018must bring us together as one\u2019.<\/p>\n

On mitigation, the Report outlines a number of concerted efforts to keep trade flowing, especially in essential medical supplies and staple foods, with a strong policy push to fight the urge to impose export bans. It also proposes that intellectual property on medical supplies, novel testing kits and vaccines must be shared to help Africa\u2019s private sector play its role in the response.<\/p>\n

Ms. Songwe also notes that the private sector needs liquidity, but it also needs partners. \u201cThat is why we call on the international community to support by injecting more liquidity into our economies,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

She stresses the need for never-before-seen assistance through innovative financing facilities, stating, \u201cWe must build back better, by ensuring that we are climate conscious in rebuilding and by leveraging the digital economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen are the front end and the back end of this crisis, they are our nurses and run many of the small businesses, underlines Ms. Songwe, adding:\u00a0 \u201cPolicies put in place to respond to the crisis must be in collaboration with them; we must be firm and clear on good governance to safeguard our health systems, ensure proper use of emergency funds, prevent our businesses from collapse, and reduce worker lay-offs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Note to Editors:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The\u00a0COVID-19: Protecting African Lives and Economies<\/em>\u00a0Report is the culmination of in-depth analyses presented to African Ministers of Finance in two virtual meetings, as well as extensive consultations with key representatives from civil society, international finance institutions and the private sector. These presentations, as well as important key messages to the international community are at the disposal of the media and can be found here:<\/p>\n

Across the globe, COVID-19 cases have surpassed 2 million with over 120,000 having lost their lives at the time of the release of this report. Over 302,467 recoveries have been recorded.<\/p>\n
