“The effect of COVID-19 has not been limited to Africa alone. The pandemic first emerged in China, the epicentre, from where it spread to Europe, and then to North and South America. If these regions of the world that have been heavily infected and affected by COVID-19, are able to implement measures to bounce back then we in Africa must do the same by learning from their experience and by devising our own home-grown solutions.”…

In the last year or so, the COVID-19 crisis has impacted the aid sector in multiple ways and on various topics. Humanitarian data management is no exception.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impaired capacity and efforts to address other health needs that are as urgent as the virus itself, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Pressure on governments to act on COVID-19 and save “lives infected first” rather than “lives statistically at risk” 1 had and will continue to have serious short- and long-term consequences in other areas of health.a This document reviews the effects of vertical responses to COVID-19 on health…
COVID-19 has disrupted the lives of everyone around the world. The impact of the virus and resulting lockdown measures have not been felt equally, however, with children experiencing perhaps the largest disruptions to their day-to-day lives.

Prior to COVID-19, an extraordinary number of children – more than 250 million – were already out of school….

It has caused the greatest global economic downturn in a century, and threatens to reverse decades of development gains. There has never been a more pressing mandate to build back better than from this crisis. The pandemic has exposed and exploited vulnerabilities and inequalities at the root of the virus’…

It also features the executive director of the World Food Programme (WFP), Dr David Beasley, who calls for more action as the toxic combination of conflict, climate change and…

By doing so, this paper aims to shed light on the risks and resilience factors that are particularly relevant in countries recently or…
