This brief provides key considerations for engaging communities on COVID-19 and tips for how to engage where there are movement restrictions and physical distancing measures in place, particularly in low-resource settings.
Cullen M.Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

Countries have shut down the economy to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Supermarket shelves remain stocked for now. But a protracted pandemic crisi s could quickly put a strai n on the f ood supply chains, a complex web of interactions involving farmers, agricultu...ral inputs, processing plants, shipping, retailers and more. The shipping industry is already reporting slowdowns because of port closures, and logistics hurd les could disrupt the supply chains in coming weeks.more
The “United Nations Framework for the immediate socio-economic response to COVID-19: Shared responsibility, global solidarity and urgent action for people in need” calls for protecting jobs, businesses and livelihoods to set in motion a safe recovery of societies and economies as soon as possibl...e for a more sustainable, gender-equal, and carbon-neutral path—better than the “old normal”.more
Pandemics and outbreaks have differential impacts on women and men. From risk of exposure and biological susceptibility to infection to the social and economic implications, individuals’ experiences are likely to vary according to their biological and gender characteristics and... their interaction with other social determinants. Because of this, global and national strategic plans for COVID-19 preparedness and response must be grounded in strong gender analysis and must ensure meaningful participation of affected groups, including women and girls, in decision-making and implementation.more
In response to the first cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) reported on the continent, many African Union Member States implemented large-scale public health and social measures (PHSM) rapidly. These measures were aimed at reducing transmission and the number of new cases being reported, p...rotecting the most vulnerable populations, and allowing time for countries to ramp up critical healthcare and diagnostic services. While these quick actions bought time for Member States, the negative socio-economic impacts are being felt widely, and countries are now exploring how best to ease these measures back while still managing the outbreak.more
This is the first version of the INEE technical guideline to support education during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a living document that will be regularly updated to meet the learning and well-being needs of children, adolescents, youth, teachers, caregivers and other education personnel affected b...y Covid-19.more
Current evidence indicates that the COVID-19 virus is transmitted through respiratory droplets or contact. Contact transmission occurs when contaminated hands touch the mucosa of the mouth, nose, or eyes; the virus can also be transferred from one surface to another by contaminated hands, which fac...ilitates indirect contact transmission. Consequently, hand hygiene is extremely important to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. It also interrupts transmission of other viruses and bacteria causing common colds, flu and pneumonia, thus reducing the general burden of disease.more
Em resposta aos primeiros casos de doença coronavírus de 2019 (COVID-19) notificados no continente, muitos Estados-Membros da União Africana implementaram rapidamente medidas sociais e de saúde pública em larga escala (PHSM). Estas medidas visavam reduzir a transmissão e o número de novos cas...os notificados, proteger as populações mais vulneráveis e dar tempo aos países para aumentarem os serviços críticos de saúde e diagnóstico. Embora estas acções rápidas tenham ganho tempo para os Estados-Membros, os impactos socioeconómicos negativos estão a fazer-se sentir amplamente e os países estão agora a estudar a melhor forma de atenuar estas medidas, ao mesmo tempo que gerem o surto.more
The COVID-19 pandemic is a rapidly evolving global crisis and there
is much that is still emerging in terms of the psychosocial and mental
health consequences for the diverse populations affected by this
emergency. This toolkit is based on what is currently available and
will be updated as addit...ional resources become available.more
Solidarity” is an international clinical trial to help find an effective treatment for COVID-19, launched by the World Health Organization and partners.
The Solidarity Trial will compare four treatment options against standard of care, to assess their relative effectiveness against COVID-19. By... enrolling patients in multiple countries, the Solidarity Trial aims to rapidly discover whether any of the drugs slow disease progression or improve survival. Other drugs can be added based on emerging evidence.
Until there is sufficient evidence, WHO cautions against physicians and medical associations recommending or administering these unproven treatments to patients with COVID-19 or people self-medicating with them. WHO is concerned by reports of individuals self-medicating with chloroquine and causing themselves serious harm.more
L’année 2020 a été une année particulièrement difficile pour la population de la République démocratique du Congo (RDC). Les conflits armés, les épidémies, les catastrophes naturelles ainsi que l’impact socio-économique de la COVID-19 ont considérablement exacerbé les vulnérabilit...s déjà existantes dans un contexte marqué par un manque criant d’accès aux services essentiels pour une grande majorité de la population. La RDC, le plus grand pays d'Afrique subsaharienne et le troisième le plus peuplé, avec une population estimée à 103 millions, demeure confrontée à l'une des crises humanitaires les plus graves au monde.more
The COVID-19 pandemic presents a rare and immediate opportunity for a norm shift towards localisation in the humanitarian architecture.
