This report looks at the extent to which older people’s rights are being upheld in emergencies and their needs met. The picture it paints is a bleak one. Although some efforts are being made to support older people, overall, the humanitarian system is failing by the standards it has set itself. The report draws on the findings of needs assessments carried out by HelpAge International in the 13 months to the end of 2019. We interviewed…

Overview of remittances Remittances – money and other assistance sent by migrants, refugees and displaced persons – are a key support for hundreds of millions of families and children around the world. Globally, 800 million people – about one in every nine people worldwide – live in households receiving international remittances. In some countries, more than 30 per cent of all children have at least one parent who works and lives away from home. In…
This briefing argues that, if a leveraged focus on SDG 16 was necessary before COVID-19, it is imperative now – not just insalvaging the 2030 Agenda in the places where it matters most, but also in damping down the potential for far greater and more durable violent conflict. Download
Digital information technologies and social media platforms have become important means of communication used by UNICEF and its partners. The physical distancing requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic have further strengthened reliance on mass media, social media and mobile technology as a way of reaching and engaging with intended audiences. Even where access to digital resources remains limited, country programmes are launching innovative approaches to continue social and behaviour change activities despite the physical distancing challenge,…

It identifies ways in which development partners can support parliaments…
The guiding questions for Conflict Sensitivity & Public Health Emergencies are: How can we better practice our commitments to conflict sensitivity in the context of public health emergencies? How can we use a better understanding of local power dynamics to increase the effectiveness of our public health interventions while minimizing negative effects on existing conflicts? What are the practical considerations and approaches for using the Do No Harm Framework in places experiencing disruptions from public…
Epidemic forecasting is one tool through which we can gain an understanding of the final outbreak sizeand indicators of when the COVID-19 epidemic peaks in a country. This provides decision-makers with the capability to plan, surge, and manage resources during a pandemic. UN OCHA and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory have therefore established a partnership to inform COVID-19 strategies for humanitarian interventions by both national authorities and the humanitarian community in selected high-priority…
Key messages Threatening to derail progress towards the SDGs, COVID-19’s devastating health, social and economic impacts are set to worsen inequalities within and between countries. To avoid a downward spiral that intensifies economic damage and catalyzes a broader humanitarian crisis, addressing inequalities should be a core part of implementing the UN system’s framework for the immediate socioeconomic response to COVID-19. Governments and the global community have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to ‘build back better’, to transform…
This report proposes seven action areas to help guide the global community and local actors as they work to Save Our Future: Action Area 1: Prioritize reopening schools, deliver vital services to children, and treat the workforce as frontline workers. School closures were necessary to curtail the COVID-19 pandemic, but there are great costs to children from being away from school. Governments will need to reopen schools as soon as it is safe to do…
