Abstract

L'objectif de ce papier est d'analyser les effets de la COVID‐19 sur la variation des revenus, la modification de la consommation alimentaire et les stratégies d'adaptations des ménages au Togo. Pour se faire, les modèles probit et logit multinomiale ont été utilisés en se basant sur des données collectées auprès de 1405 ménages dans 44 districts des 6 régions sanitaires. Les résultats révèlent que les ménages dans lesquels le chef a perdu son emploi sont plus exposés à une baisse de revenu et donc à une réduction de leur consommation alimentaire pendant la pandémie. Toutefois, les transferts monétaires octroyés aux personnes vulnérables ont un effet positif, mais non significatif sur le changement de leur revenu. Par ailleurs, les ménages bénéficiaires de prestations sociales au sein desquels le chef a un niveau d'éducation supérieur, sont plus susceptibles de supporter les effets de la pandémie. Ainsi, pour les ménages ayant ressenti un effet modéré ou sévère de la crise, la probabilité est élevée qu'ils diminuent leur consommation alimentaire. A cet effet, il serait intéressant d'étendre les prestations sociales aux acteurs du secteur informel et d'accélérer la mise en place du registre social unique pour un meilleur ciblage des ménages vulnérables.
