PREPARE, RESPOND, RECOVER: UNDP’s integrated approach

UNDP’s response is framed around three objectives: (a) help Yemen prepare for and protect people from the pandemic and its impacts; (b) respond during the outbreak; and, (c) recover from the economic and social impacts in the months to come.

• PREPARE: UNDP is supporting Yemen to strengthen the health systems including by helping procure much needed medical supplies, quickly leveraging digital technologies and ensuring health workers are paid.
• RESPOND: UNDP is working across key sectors to slow the spread of the virus and to provide social protection for vulnerable populations, promoting a whole-of-government and whole-of-society response to complement efforts in the health sector. 
• RECOVER: UNDP is supporting the assessment of social and economic impacts of COVID-19 and take urgent recovery measures to minimize long-term impact, particularly for vulnerable and marginalized groups, and to help Yemen recover.
