EXPANDING THE NARRATIVE ON ANTI-CHINESE STIGMA DURING COVID-19
Lessons on Complexity & Capacity in Toronto and Nairobi
York Covid-19 Research
In this report, we seek to shed light on response and recovery actions to manage the COVID-19 pandemic that were undertaken in Kenya.
Background
Over the last ten years, the Government of Kenya has adopted a devolved system of government, delegating policy and services to county levels. The COVID-19 outbreak offered the country an opportunity to evaluate its pandemic preparedness and response capacity including the role of multisectoral coordination through its national disaster framework.
Using findings from a report released by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) entitled Framework for Evaluating COVID-19 Responses (OECD, 2022), we explore how response and recovery phases were designed and implemented in Kenya in the early stages of the pandemic.
Rather than an evaluation of OECD members' response decisions, the framework categorizes the various options implemented by countries, and we apply this as a guide as we reflect on Kenya’s own policy choices.
Due to the geographic origins of the first major outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, there have been reports of Asians around the world experiencing discrimination, xenophobia, or racism. Such reports have been prevalent in Toronto, Canada and in Nairobi, Kenya, two global urban centres that have significant Chinese diaspora communities.
Discriminatory actions have ranged from outright physical aggression to subtle microaggressions. While reports (both media and academic) have highlighted such incidents, we argue that when the conversation starts and stops at the reporting of experiences of stigma, the narrative remains the victimization of the community.
While the emerging story of the instances of COVID-19 stigma and discrimination are only one aspect of this story, other aspects include a deeper understanding of the community itself along with an awareness of the capacity the Chinese diaspora community brings forward to help us all overcome COVID-19. By better understanding the complexity as well as the capacity of communities, emergency managers and public health officials can better implement social countermeasures aimed at preventing the unfair targeting of specific ethnic groups during infectious disease outbreaks.
