This article examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food insecurity among informal urban settlers in Ghana. Using a qualitative data collection approach, the paper explores the various socioeconomic factors that have exacerbated this group's food insecurity, including income loss and food supply chain disruptions. It further describes the various coping strategies that informal urban settlers have adopted to mitigate the impact of food insecurity. The findings indicate that the pandemic has had a severe and disproportionate impact on informal urban settlers in Ghana and further reinforces existing social inequalities. The paper highlights the importance of continued government support and the need for effective policy interventions to ensure that these communities have access to adequate food security.
