Abstract

As we finalised this volume, the COVID-19 pandemic bore down on Indonesia and disrupted the picture of declining rural poverty discussed in earlier chapters. To reflect on the implications for rural livelihoods and the scenarios we identified, we conducted interviews and reviews of available reports. Here we offer some preliminary thoughts on the impacts of the pandemic and consider how COVID-19 has triggered changes within the scenarios outlined in Chapter 2. We also reflect on the role of social assistance during this crisis.
