The summit titled Pathways to addressing food security and improved nutrition in Kenya and Tanzania during COVID Times is a collaborative forum dedicated to key emerging questions linking the COVID-19 pandemic and agriculture, food, nutrition, and security in Kenya and Tanzania. 

The Mashariki Summit is a response to the COVID Pandemic which has had a devastating impact on the economies of many African countries, whose bulk of GDP stems from the agricultural sector.  According to the World Bank, “COVID-19 impacts have led to severe and widespread increases in global food insecurity, affecting vulnerable households in almost every country, with impacts expected to continue through 2021 and into 2022”.
