COVID-19

Guided by the General Assembly resolution 74/270 on Global solidarity to fight the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Secretary-General's report on Shared responsibility, global solidarity: Responding to the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19, as well as the UN framework for the immediate socio-economic response to COVID-19, UNCTAD has taken the lead in the "Response and Recovery: Mobilising financial resources for development in the time of Covid-19" project. Coordinated by the Debt and Development Finance Branch of UNCTAD and jointly implemented with ECA, ECLAC and ESCAP, this is one of the five DA short-term projects launched in response to the COVID-19 crisis, launched in March 2020.
