Africa UN Knowledge Hub for COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced many people to re-examine everything: their priorities, their jobs, even their roles in society. Those who were already vulnerable – including the poor, those who live in rural areas, and those who belong to marginalized groups, such as women and indigenous peoples – are no exception to this. Yet despite the often devastating socio-economic consequences caused by the pandemic, many have managed, through strength and creativity, to keep their work alive while staying safe and healthy.
