  • Sphere COVID-19 Case Study #4 – COVID-19 in Complex Emergencies – Do No Harm
    English 198.41 KB pdf 2020
    The COVID-19 lockdown and isolation measures aim to protect people from transmission of the disease Yet, they have devastating consequences on people’s livelihoods, especially in the context of complex emergencies where governance is fragile, health systems are weak and populations displaced. Humanitarian standards demand that we ensure the people we support are not negatively affected. This requires consultation with affected communities, adaptation and constant monitoring of interventions.
