Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger: Vulnerability to COVID-19 containment measures

This report highlights the potential impact of COVID-19 containment measures in three countries in the Sahel region: Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. It is based on ACAPS’ global ‘Vulnerability to containment measures’ analysis that highlights how eight key factors can shape the impact of COVID-19 containment measures. Additional factors relevant to the Sahel region have also been included in this report. The premise of this regional analysis is that, given these key factors, the three countries are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19 containment measures.
