商品描述
This Open Access edited volume presents twelve African case studies that systematically reconstruct, document and analyse how national governments and other stakeholders took equity into account in their initial policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the onset of the pandemic, many African governments acted quickly to suppress the virus through various public health measures, including lockdowns, mobilizing healthcare resources and designing responses to support the economy and the population. There were, however, significant variations in the severity and type of measures taken, as well as their accessibility and impacts. Equity was not a given and, therefore, important questions have been raised about who benefitted and who were left unprotected from the interventions, particularly those designed to protect income and basic services? The book, based on a variety of empirical data and disciplinary perspectives of research teams from across the continent, examines the inclusivity of mitigation and policy responses. It situates these findings on short-term interventions and impact in debates about the longer-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of the African continent and proposes new directions for policy, research and practice in responses and interventions during crises.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開放存取的編輯專著呈現了十二個非洲案例研究，系統性地重建、記錄和分析各國政府及其他利益相關者在應對 COVID-19 大流行的初期政策反應中如何考量公平性。在疫情初期，許多非洲政府迅速採取行動，透過各種公共衛生措施來抑制病毒，包括封鎖、動員醫療資源以及設計支持經濟和民眾的應對措施。然而，所採取措施的嚴重性和類型，以及其可及性和影響，存在顯著差異。公平性並非理所當然，因此，重要的問題隨之而來：誰受益，誰在這些干預措施中未受到保護，特別是那些旨在保護收入和基本服務的措施？這本書基於來自整個大陸的各種實證數據和研究團隊的學科視角，檢視了減緩和政策反應的包容性。它將這些關於短期干預和影響的發現置於有關 COVID-19 大流行對非洲大陸發展的長期影響的辯論中，並提出在危機期間應對和干預的新政策、研究和實踐方向。
