UN and Africa Special: Sub-Saharan Africa
In this week’s special programme during the holiday season: the International Monetary Fund or IMF, looks at what a drought, earthquake or pandemic can do to economies in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Natural disasters hold back a country’s ability to produce, leading to an economic slowdown according to two top economists from the IMF.
Sub Saharan Africa has been especially prone and natural disasters have adversely impacted the overall economic performance of the region.
