On the Frontline of the Pandemic

Fifty UN Volunteer health experts were deployed in response to the coronavirus pandemic through a UN joint programme, implemented by UNDP, UN Women and UNICEF to support county healthcare systems and guarantee business continuity and services for poor and marginalized communities in Kenya.

The collaboration between citizens, governments, and volunteers improved awareness of the local context, ensured interventions address context-specific needs, and built lasting relationships expected to last beyond the crisis.
