COVID-19: Resources
Latest reports and publications
Latest reports and publications from East Asia & Pacific
The world as we know it has changed.
Not for generations have we seen so many people impacted at the same time by the same thing: COVID-19.
Although COVID-19 unleashed itself at alarming speed around the world, it has not – and it will not – impact everyone equally. Already, we’ve witnessed the countless ways this insidious virus has laid bare the inequalities and insecurities among the most vulnerable in society. Unless urgent action is taken, it will be the oldest, the poorest, and the youngest who will bear the brunt of what is set to be a devastating COVID-19 recession.
Let’s unite in our efforts to recover, rebound, and reimagine a stronger future for every child. Let’s tell the world we are #NotGoingBack to normal, because normal never was.
Below are some of the latest resources about COVID-19 in East Asia & Pacific.
