dc.description	While the health effects of COVID-19 are being widely reported, less is known about the economic, social, and security impacts of the pandemic. This brief reports on the risks of and resilience to the COVID-19 pandemic among informal sector vendors in Lagos, Africa’s largest city. Their experiences are indicative of those of a large and particularly vulnerable subset of the population in the developing world—actors in the urban informal economy—who live day to day and whose economic activities are deeply impacted by the crisis.	en
