A social listening dashboard presented feedback collected from the population on policy and programme responses, public opinions and rumours, and personal experience of COVID-19 through media and social media.

A knowledge resource selected by UNICEF for humanitarian practitioners everywhere Let’s make every $1 spent on emergency water provision count toward sustainable systems. Today more than 2 billion people lack access to safe water and 3 billion people lack handwashing facilities with water and soap at home. Limited access to water, sanitation and hygiene will leave these populations at greater risk of transmission. Coupled with the prevalence of underlying health conditions like malnutrition, malaria and anemia in developing countries, these conditions pose grave immediate risks to the world’s poorest. UNICEF’s WASH team works in over 100 countries worldwide to improve water and sanitation services, as well as basic hygiene practices. Last year, we provided more than 32 million people with access to safe water for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene in humanitarian situations — but we need to do more.
