Abstract:

This paper is part of a broader project designed to provide country-specific evidence for Uganda on the immediate, medium and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related mitigation measures and policy responses on Micro, Small, and Mediumsized Enterprises (MSMEs). It is the first wave of a planned panel study aimed at tracking the operations of MSMEs during COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 periods to unpack the short, medium, and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
