It has been noted that maintaining the
provision of quality essential health services,
including reproductive, maternal, newborn and child
health (RMNCH), has been a critical challenge in the
COVID-19 response for many countries.
The UN agencies that sponsored this
webinar, UNOSSC in collaboration with UNICEF, UNFPA and
PAHO/WHO, recognize the urgent need to effectively
respond to the pressing requirements of countries in the
South in a post-COVID world as part of the broader
efforts to build back better, including designing
responses to address the stark inequalities and
exclusion to leave no one behind.
This webinar gathers a panel of experts
from the government and the youth sectors from countries
in the South: China,
Dominican Republic, Nigeria, Sudan, Suriname and
Tajikistan, to
discuss how countries can work together to overcome
challenges by benefitting from the knowledge and
experiences of each other.
In addition, the panelists will
give their thoughts on how countries can continue to
remain on track to deliver the 2030 Agenda in
the Decade of Action.
The overall aim of this webinar is to enable a global
exchange of experiences to improve the effectiveness of
the interventions and to enable UN agencies to both
identify and respond to the expectations and needs of
countries in tackling the challenges of COVID-19 in
post-recovery.
