Dear CCARDESA Members,
Greetings!
Through the SADC Regional Vulnerability Assessment and Analysis Programme,
SADC Secretariat and the World Food Programme have jointly launched an *Online
Survey *on the* Impact of COVID-19* on livelihoods, food security and
nutrition in the SADC region.
The Survey enables people living in the 16 SADC countries to share their
views on how COVID-19 has affected their lives and their households, and
what decision-makers in Government, the private sector, development
partners and humanitarian agencies should do to mitigate the current and
future impacts of COVID-19. Attached is a letter of introduction from SADC
Secretariat for more information.
You are, hereby, kindly invited to participate in the Survey and share your
views!
*Click the web-link below*, and answer the questions in the *Questionnaire
on COVID-19 Impact*:

The Survey takes about *20 minutes *to complete.
When finished, please remember to click the *SUBMIT* button at the end of
the questionnaire so that we can receive your answers to the Survey
questions.
Before joining the Survey, please make sure you will have *secure internet
connection* for about *25 minutes* just in case you may take longer.

to provide your name.
In addition to your participation, we would greatly appreciate your kind
assistance in sharing this invitation and web-link to participate in the
Survey, with *friends, family, colleagues, agricultural research and
training experts, students, and development and humanitarian practitioners
working in the fields of agricultural production (crop and livestock),
trade, food security, nutrition, employment and social protection you may
know in your countries as well as other SADC Member States* and encourage
them to participate and share the link with others they know.
Any assistance (or suggestions) you can provide to propagate the Web-Survey
more widely in SADC member states would be greatly appreciated as well.
This will help us achieve our target of 6,000 respondents region-wide.
The Survey will remain available online until *Friday,* *14 August 2020* when
the data collected will be downloaded for analysis and report writing.
The *Survey Report *will be published online by the end of September 2020.
