Coping With COVID-19 in Kenya

MSC conducted research to understand how the low- and middle-income (LMI) segments cope with the COVID-19 pandemic in five countries. This report from Kenya offers a glimpse into their challenges, concerns, and new opportunities in these trying times. This research also examines if there have been any changes since the previous MSC survey in April, 2020.

In wave 2, 162 respondents from LMI households across Kenya were interviewed to assess their perspective of the COVID-19 situation and their response to it. The findings have been synthesized to provide recommendations and opportunity areas for policymakers to strengthen their efforts further.
