The Socio-Economic Impact of COVID-19 on most vulnerable groups and economic sectors conducted during the period end-May – beginning of October 2020 is a comprehensive service for the Government and partners shedding light on the consequences and impact of the crisis and proposing tactical and medium-term policy and programmatic options for recovery and resilience. It provides ‘food for thought’ and has already ignited several multi-stakeholder policy dialogues and debates, underlying the potential and ambition for recovery, but also the enthusiasm for building new partnerships for development and coagulating efforts to overcome the multiple COVID-19 induced challenges.
