The international humanitarian and aid communities have always worked in contexts where resources, funds and support systems are hard to come by, harder to build and hardest to distribute. The competing needs of numerous groups —all dire and all urgent— are complex to parse through and prioritize. However, years of practice and scholarship have repeatedly shown the stark reality that women and girls tend to both be the ones most impacted by humanitarian crises like conflicts and disasters and the ones who tend to be most egregiously neglected by donors and humanitarian agencies. In addition, women and girls are expected to contribute to their homes and communities.
Throughout the pandemic, civil society organizations (CSOs) have been crucial partners in reducing the impacts of COVID-19 on individuals and communities, particularly those in hard-to-reach vulnerable groups. The direct participation of CSOs – from planning through to the implementation and evaluation stages of preparedness, readiness and response – has also helped reinforce the actions of governments and has been a key factor in encouraging citizens to comply with guidance.
Now, to engage and empower CSOs, WHO/Europe has launched an initiative that will help them further contribute to the current COVID-19 response and benefit the future readiness and preparedness of countries and communities by:
- strengthening community readiness and resilience to emergencies
- connecting vulnerable communities to services
- enhancing inclusive governance.
Speaking at the online launch event, Dr Dorit Nitzan, Regional Emergency Director for WHO Europe, said, “The CSO initiative kicking off today is unprecedented and can be a real game changer in the way WHO, governments and communities address this and future emergencies.”
