COVID-19 AND THE NEED FOR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP
Fighting for a Common Cause
COVID-19 has changed the world, and more changes are yet to come. The pandemic and the climate crisis are the two greatest global emergencies since the Second World War. Known for landmine clearance expertise, HALO teams across the globe are now supporting COVID-19 response, while continuing to deal with deadly remnants of war. This report shows how HALO is using its ambulances, strategic planning skills and community networks to support health authorities, the UN and NGOs on the global COVID-19 front line.
Without urgent action, the pandemic鈥檚 impact will extend far beyond the current public health emergency. The world鈥檚 poorest and conflict-affected communities will be hit hardest by recession, increased poverty and heightened inequality. Preventing long-term suffering requires innovation, bold policy and international leadership that is still shamefully absent.
Fighting for a Common Cause provides an overview of our response to date, along with concrete recommendations for the way ahead. Download the full report below.
