Regional differences in NPI efficacy and recommendations for Africa

Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) remain a key component of COVID response, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where vaccination is limited (Padma 2021). Much of what we know about NPI efficacy, however, comes from HIC contexts, and this knowledge is not necessarily transferrable to LMICs (Chowdhury et al. 2020). It is well-established that lockdowns have had detrimental effects in LMICs, including increased food insecurity and diminished healthcare access (Amare et al. 2021; Harling et al. 2021).
