HIGHLIGHTS

• During the reporting period, 41.2 million households benefitted from new or additional social assistance measures provided by governments to respond to COVID-19 with UNICEF support, while over 28,332 households (affected by COVID-19) received humanitarian multi-sector cash grants for basic needs.

• UNICEF continues to work closely with government to modify social protection programmes to address additional vulnerabilities created by the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes helping to expand existing systems to cover households made vulnerable by the economic downturn, providing ‘top-up’ benefits to existing payments, and designing and delivering cash transfers that complement government response. Several countries (29) have included social protection measures that target persons with disabilities.

• A new partnership was agreed with Airtel Africa to provide children with access to remote learning and enable families access to cash assistance via mobile cash transfers. The partnership will reach an estimated 133 million school age children currently affected by school closures in 13 countries across sub-Saharan Africa.

FUNDING OVERVIEW AND PARTNERSHIPS

As of June 11, UNICEF has received US$539 million in vital contributions from the public and private sectors. The increase in funding received since the last Situation Report update is largely due to the recent contribution from the Government of Japan, which brings their total to $112M, ranking them as the top contributor to the UNICEF response. The funding added in this second round has helped to support countries in middle east and north Africa, eastern and southern Africa, as well as west and central Africa. UNICEF would also like to express its sincere gratitude to partners such as the United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID), Global Partnership for Education, the World Bank, the United States of America, Government of Germany, Central Emergency Relief Fund (CERF), Gavi, the US Fund for UNICEF, and COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. The generous contributions since the start of the UNICEF response have made a significant difference for children in numerous countries in different regions by helping to implement key response activities to address COVID-19. Most (54%) of the HAC funds utilized to date have been utilized to procure supplies and commodities for transfer to health authorities, CSOs, and other partners. Seventeen per cent of the utilized HAC funds were transferred to CSO (11%) and Government partners (6%). UNICEF is making use of much-needed simplification/flexibility to amend some of the 2,000 partnership agreements already active when the pandemic struck. These partnership agreements were signed prior to the launch of the HAC Appeal and thus may or may not be funded by HAC funds but are being reprogrammed as necessary in view of the COVID context.

SITUATION OVERVIEW AND HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause significant loss of life, disrupting livelihoods and threatening advances in health and global development. As of 18 June 2020, there have been over 8.8 million confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), with 465,740 deaths reported, including among children1.

Six months into the pandemic, the global number of COVID19 cases per day continued increasing, partly due to sharp increases in cases in the Americas (USA, Brazil, Chile, Peru), though all regions reported increases in the number of cases in the last weeks except Europe (ECARO). The resumption of social life in some countries was followed by the detection of clusters of cases (e.g. Germany, China) that seemed under control due to rapid detection, testing and contact tracing and isolation.

COVID-19 restrictions remain largely in place though restrictions are lifting in some countries. These restrictions continue to have a negative effect on programming and the number of children reached. Restrictions imposed on domestic travel are impacting the movement of UNICEF and partners, limiting the ability to implement and monitor programmes. For example, humanitarian access continues to be constrained in South Sudan due to impediments on air travel. Several field missions, including RRM, have been suspended. Several therapeutic feeding centers and public health center hospitals in Yemen are being used as COVID-19 isolation centers, thus affecting the attendance rates in the OTP centers and supplementary feeding programmes. Other operational challenges include the shortage of fuel, suspension of third- party monitoring and remote monitoring of activities. Access to IDP camps is becoming restricted in several countries, including Nigeria, South Sudan and Bangladesh. Despite these challenges, UNICEF and other agencies continue to scale up operations to reach millions of children with life-saving interventions.

The economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic could push up to 106 million more children into household poverty by the end of 2020, an increase of 15 per cent2. The total number of children living below the national poverty line in low- and middle-income countries could reach 672 million by year-end if no action is taken. Nearly two-thirds of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Countries across Europe and Central

Asia could see the most significant increase, up to 44 per cent across the region. Latin America and the Caribbean could see a 22 per cent increase.

Immediate loss of income means families are less able to afford the basics, including food and water, less likely to access health care or education, and more at risk of child marriage, violence, exploitation and abuse. When fiscal contraction occurs, the reach and quality of the services families depend on can also be diminished. For the poorest families, lack of access to social care services or compensatory measures further limits their ability to abide by containment and physical distancing measures, and thus further increases their exposure to infection. Children are highly vulnerable to even short periods of hunger and malnutrition—potentially affecting them for their whole life.

Before the pandemic, two-thirds of children worldwide did not have access to any form of social protection, making it impossible for families to withstand financial shocks when they hit and furthering the vicious cycle of intergenerational poverty. Only 16 per cent of children in Africa are covered by social protection. Hundreds of millions of children remain multidimensionally poor - meaning they lack access to health care, education, proper nutrition, or adequate housing – often a reflection of inequitable investments by governments in social services. Only 18.5% of persons with significant disabilities have access to disability related social protection benefits in low- and middle-income countries, and only 1% in low income countries.3

The social and economic impact of COVID-19, and subsequent lack of access to social protection, has implications with regards pre-existing threats to child survival and health. A recent study conducted by Johns Hopkins University4 shows that unless immediate urgent action is taken, an additional 6,000 children could die every day from preventable causes over the next six months as the pandemic continues to weaken health systems and disrupt routine services. In the most optimistic scenario, where health services may be reduced by about 15%, there would be a 9.8% increase in under-five child deaths and a jump of 8.3% in maternal deaths. In the worst-case scenario, where health services may be reduced by about 45%, there could be as much as a 44.7% increase in under-five child deaths and a 38.6% increase in maternal deaths per month. Through UNICEF’s monitoring mechanism, countries continue to report significant disruptions in health services, including disruptions in outpatient care for children with illnesses, community-based health service delivery, and immunization services. The UN and the GAVI vaccine alliance reports that 80 million children in at least 68 countries may be at risk of diphtheria, measles and polio due to disruptions in supply chains and immunization infrastructure.

Nearly 1.18 billion children in 146 countries are still directly affected by national school closures.5 Vulnerable and hard to reach children are in particular danger of dropping out of the education system. Even before the crisis, more than half of all school-age children with disabilities were out of school6. Rising malnutrition is expected as 369 million children across 143 countries who normally rely on school meals for a source of daily nutrition. In addition, an estimated 3 billion people worldwide lack access to safe and readily available soap and water at home, while 900 million children lack soap and water at their school7. Most recent estimates of child under nutrition see 144 million of children under 5 facing stunting, and 47 million of children under 5 facing wasting8. Migrants often lack reserves and access to safety nets. The remittances that migrants send back home will fall by $109 billion this year. That will deeply hurt the 800 million people around the world who rely on them, taking food off the table and forcing children out of learning.

Around half of country offices reporting on socio-economic impacts indicated that coverage of key child protection services had dropped by more than 25% -- this includes drops in access to child welfare authorities, case management services or referral pathways, household visits and violence prevention programmes. Close to half of country offices reporting noted some evidence of increase in gender-based violence.9 UNFPA projections show that for every three months of lockdown, there will be an additional 15 million cases of gender-based violence.10 A World Vision report estimates that up to 85 million more girls and boys worldwide may be exposed to physical, sexual and/ or emotional violence over the next three months as a result of COVID-19 quarantine.11 Girls are particularly vulnerable to sexual exploitation and abuse.

UNICEF GLOBAL COVID-19 Situation Report No.7 29 May – 10 June 2020

The impact of the crisis on household income could lead to more children engaged in child labor or forced into early marriage. According to a new brief from the International Labor Organization and UNICEF COVID-19 and child labor: A time of crisis, a time to act, child labor decreased by 94 million since 2000, but that gain is now at risk. Children already in child labor may be working longer hours or under worsening conditions. Vulnerable population groups – such as those working in the informal economy and migrant workers – will suffer most from economic downturn, increased informality and unemployment, the general fall in living standards, health shocks and insufficient social protection systems, among other pressures.

HUMANITARIAN LEADERSHIP, COORDINATION AND STRATEGY

UNICEF is working closely with partners at global, regional and country levels to reduce transmission and mitigate the impacts of COVID-19, including with national authorities, UN agencies and other partners, including WHO, International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC), national Centers for Disease Control (CDCs), NGO partners and the private sector.

UNICEF activated its L3 Scale Up protocol for a period of 6 months, in line with the IASC system-wide activation. The UNICEF Executive Director regularly attends the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Principals meetings and the SG’s Executive Committee meetings – being the key forums for top level UN and inter-agency humanitarian system decision making in the overall COVID-19 response. Under the auspices of the Executive Committee, UNICEF also actively contributed to the SG’s Report on the UN’s COVID Response which maps out the UN’s approach to the medium- and long-term development challenges caused by the outbreak.

In addition, UNICEF works with partners to ensure the needs of children and pregnant women are included in the guidance, response plans and country-level implementation. UNICEF’s work contributes to both outbreak control and the collateral impacts of the outbreak including to ensure continuity of essential social services for children, women, and vulnerable populations in COVID-19 affected areas. UNICEF participates as an active member of the following coordination mechanisms:

Inter-Agency Standing Committee - Emergency Director Group

The group is leading coordination in countries affected by humanitarian crises through the cluster system. UNICEF leads on the Nutrition, WASH, Education Clusters and Child Protection Area of Responsibility (AoR). UNICEF is also a key partner in the Health Cluster and Gender Based Violence AoR ensuring that children’s needs are represented, planned and accounted for.

WHO Incident Management Support Team (IMST)

The WHO response to COVID-19 is coordinated through a global and regional IMST. UNICEF HQ is integrated into the IMST structure at global and regional levels. UNICEF is co-leading the Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) pillar with WHO and UNICEF and is part of the IMST strategic partner coordination mechanism. UNICEF is also represented through its technical experts in the WHO experts’ groups developing technical guidance for Case Management, Infection Prevention and Control, continuity of essential health services and data and analytics, with a specific role in leading on the (operational) Global Social Science Analysis Cell. As a steering committee member and one of its major operational partners, UNICEF also coordinates with public health partners through the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), hosted by WHO.

COVID Supply Chain System

UNICEF is represented at all the three levels of the WHO-led ‘COVID Supply Chain System (CSCS) governance system:

o High Level Task Force - co-chaired by WHO and WFP - provide strategic directions

o Purchasing Consortia and its technical subgroups - PPE led by UNICEF, diagnostics and biomedical equipment, both led by WHO

o Control Tower - led by WHO and WFP - allocation and distribution

A UNICEF “Geneva-operated” supply cell (housed at the WHO-HQ) was established to support the CSCS and work closely with the different levels of the governance system.

The UN Crisis Management Team (CMT)

UNICEF GLOBAL COVID-19 Situation Report No.7 29 May – 10 June 2020

UNICEF is a member of the CMT hosted by the United Nations Operations and Crisis Centre (UNOCC). UNICEF co-leads 2 of the 10 areas of work: social impact (DCO/UNICEF) and impact on critical supply chain and goods (WHO/WFP/UNICEF). At country level, UNICEF engages through UN country coordination mechanisms (led by UN Resident Coordinators - RCs) to ensure a coordinated public health response as well as continuity of essential services and mitigation of social and economic impacts, including for health, WASH, education, nutrition and child protection.

COVID-19 ACT-Accelerator Initiative

ACT-Accelerator refers to the overarching initiative aimed at developing and accelerating access to COVID tools (diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines) to stop the COVID19 pandemic. The initiative’s creation was primarily driven by the European Commission (EC), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), WHO and Welcome Trust – although founding members also include CEPI, Gavi, Global Fund, UNITAID, and the World Bank. The ACT Accelerator initiative includes three ‘partnerships’ (also sometimes called “pillars”) each of which is focused on one of the key tools to prevent, treat or diagnose COVID19. A fourth cross-cutting health systems pillar/partnership to invest in health system needs for introducing and scaling these tools. UNICEF is part of global stewardship council and is part of the various pillars.

SUMMARY ANALYSIS OF PROGRAMME RESPONSE

Strategic priority 1: Public health response to reduce novel coronavirus transmission and mortality

Since the start of the outbreak, UNICEF has shipped more than 9.6 million gloves, 6.1 million surgical masks, 2 million N95 respirators, 744,411 gowns, 104,321 goggles, 454,789 face shields, 886 oxygen sets and 441,832 diagnostic tests for COVID-19, in support of 100 countries as they respond to the pandemic. In view of meeting the demand expected for the months of June to August, UNICEF has managed to secure availability from suppliers for key products, such as 320.1 million surgical masks, 13.6 million N95 respirators, 5.7 million coveralls , 14.2 million surgical gowns, 480,000 goggles, 16 million face shields, 106,000 infrared thermometers, 9,000 oxygen sets and 2.5 million diagnostic tests for COVID-19. UNICEF has invested $294 million in securing these supplies. Over 2.6 billion people have been reached with COVID-19 messaging, including migrant and refugee populations. UNICEF’s COVID-related social media posts generated significant reach and engagement, with an average of more than 17 million impressions per post and more than 144,000 engagements per post on its global Facebook channels alone. On UNICEF’s global website, COVID-19 related content generated more than 2 million unique pageviews, with a strong average ‘time on page’ of 4:14 minutes, indicating high engagement with the content. Over 33 million people were reached with critical WASH supplies and services, while 2.4 million healthcare facility staff and community health workers were trained in infection prevention and control.

UNICEF developed and implemented rapid assessments of impacts and emerging needs due to the crisis which, alongside work on modeling the impact of the crisis on child poverty, are helping to guide responses to the crisis. UNICEF launched its focus on child poverty in the context of COVID-19 featuring new data from UNICEF and Save the Children estimating that 106 million more children could live in household poverty by the end of the year.

Strategic priority 2: Continuity of health, HIV, nutrition, education, WASH, child protection, gender-based violence, social protection and other social services; assessing and responding to the immediate socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 response

UNICEF continued to provide critical health, nutrition, education and social services and supplies, including on social protection. UNICEF is working closely with governments to introduce flexibility social protection programmes to address additional COVID-19- related vulnerabilities. This includes helping to expand existing systems to cover households made vulnerable by the economic downturn, providing ‘top-up’ benefits to existing payments, and designing and delivering cash transfers complementing government response. Over 41.2 million households benefitted from new or additional social assistance measures provided by governments to respond to COVID-19 with UNICEF support, while over 28,332 households (affected by COVID-19) received humanitarian multi-sector cash grants for basic needs. Approximately 12% of the COVID-19 funds utilized thus far have gone as direct cash transfers to beneficiaries.

In Madagascar, UNICEF supported the design, implementation and monitoring of the expansion of cash grants into urban and suburban areas in response to COVID-19. Identified households will receive two monthly payments of US$26 via mobile money or direct payment. In Guatemala, UNICEF supported the Ministry of Social Development to implement a quasi-universal emergency cash transfers for poor families using electricity consumption bill as an identification tool. Through this support, 2 million poor and vulnerable families are being

reached across the country. In Ghana, UNICEF supported the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection to modify its existing national social protection programmes to ensure continuity of services for poor and vulnerable children and families, and to mitigate potential socio-economic impacts of COVID-19. Several countries (29) have included social protection measures that target persons with disabilities. In Jordan, 30,239 children (13 per cent children with disabilities) were supported by the Hajati cash transfer programme. In an effort to sustain access to WASH services and supplies, UNICEF launched an e-voucher programme for health care facilities as part of the COVID-19 response in Ukraine. Overall, 66 health care facilities in eastern Ukraine received e-vouchers for amounts ranging from US$192 to US$2,812, which they used to place orders for hygiene and cleaning supplies. In Ecuador, UNICEF has developed a coordinated strategy with the WFP to include hygiene items in the WFP ́s card. This card, as part of a cash-based intervention, allows Venezuelan families to buy food as well as UNICEF ́s hygiene items that include hand soap, antibacterial gel, gloves, alcohol and chlorine, for a value of 5USD per person per month or 20 USD per family per month. This intervention will reach 18,000 people in the next 3 months. To support access to education, UNICEF announced a new partnership with Airtel Africa aimed at providing children with access to remote learning and enable access to cash assistance for their families via mobile cash transfers. Under this partnership, UNICEF and Airtel Africa will use mobile technology to benefit an estimated 133 million school age children currently affected by school closures in 13 countries across sub-Saharan Africa during the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, UNICEF held a webinar on Disability-Inclusive Social Protection which presented key elements to make COVID-19 social protection measures more responsive to persons with disabilities.

Beyond social protection, UNICEF launched the Global Technical Assistance Mechanism for Nutrition. The website will become the core mechanism for channeling nutrition programmatic support in the context of COVID-19 between UNICEF, the Global Nutrition Cluster (GNC) and their implementing partners. The Alliance podcast Protected! issued its third episode, which focused on refugee protection in the context of COVID-19. On WASH, UNICEF is also exploring a new market shaping opportunity around wall mounted soaps that will be promoted as part of school reopening, to strengthen continuity of essential WASH services and supply chains.

SITUATION OVERVIEW & HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

The number of new COVID-19 cases continue to decline in most countries across the region. As a result, many governments are gradually loosening their lockdown restrictions, including the reopening of businesses and the gradual reopening of schools. However, the impact of the pandemic on children remains high. To date, 227,757 positive COVID-19 cases have been confirmed in the region, with 9,068 deaths. Among these, Indonesia and Philippines are amongst the worst affected. The consequences of lockdowns, including economic impacts for families, have adversely affected the wellbeing of over 400 million children and young people, with increased risk of school dropout, violence, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), exploitation, abuse and neglect. The postponement of routine immunization in East Asia and Pacific countries, including in Myanmar, Indonesia, Viet Nam, Lao PDR, and Papua New Guinea, poses additional risks of disease outbreaks among children.

PROGRAMME RESPONSE HIGHLIGHTS

Responding to a regional context with both middle-income and low-income countries, UNICEF’s approach in the region is a combination of providing critical guidance and technical assistance to strengthen the capacity of the health system and health personnel and direct service delivery, for instance by installing handwashing stations in health facilities, schools and communities and the provision of critical medical, PPE and WASH supplies. To mitigate the secondary impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, UNICEF supports governments in the region with facilities for continued learning and provides technical assistance for continued health and child protection services. UNICEF engages intensively with governments in the region, advocating for immediate and child-sensitive social protection responses to COVID-19 to address the social, economic and health dimensions. At the early stages of the crisis, UNICEF has been supporting governments to adapt their social protection emergency responses by i) expanding their existing social assistance programs to reach more vulnerable families; ii) adapting their cash transfer programs for a safe delivery (ensuring social distancing practices during payments); and iii) providing information on COVID-19 to vulnerable groups such as pregnant and lactating women. Across the region, UNICEF is also supporting governments in the monitoring and evaluation of their social protection responses to COVID-19 with the aim of extracting lessons and drawing on temporary measures to build comprehensive, shock and gender-responsive social protection systems.

PILLAR IN FOCUS: SOCIAL PROTECTION

Thailand: UNICEF has been advocating for an immediate and child-sensitive social protection response to COVID-19, by (i) providing top-up to the existing cash transfers (i.e. Child Support Grant, Disability Grant and Old Age Allowance), as well as by (ii) expanding the coverage of the child support grant by making it universal to all children under six years of age. After engaging in policy discussions, the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, has agreed to put forward a proposal to provide top-up to the three grants, with the value of 1,000 THB per month for three months. UNICEF continues to advocate for top-up for all eligible beneficiaries, as well as for the universal Child Support Grant, both among the high-level policymakers as well as with more than 100 member organizations of the civil society coalition and the media.

Mongolia: The government has made a decision to increase the monthly benefit of the Child Money Programme – the largest national social protection programme – to MNT 100,000 – from the regular MNT 20,000 – effective from the April payment and valid for 6 months. This corresponds to a 400% increase relative to pre-COVID benefit levels. This decision drew from the lessons learned by a shock-responsive social protection pilot (SRSP) supported by UNICEF, which was the first to ever use the Child Money Programme to deliver emergency cash transfers for people affected by the Dzud – a Mongolian term for a severe winter in which a large number of livestock die, primarily due to starvation due to being unable to graze or directly from the cold. This has significantly accelerated the pace of the SRSP rollout in Mongolia in response to the economic shock resulting from COVID-19. UNICEF is supporting the government in the monitoring and evaluation of the emergency top-ups, both to contribute to learning and to demonstrate to potential new donors the system-readiness to expand for additional financial support.

Europe and Central Asia

Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo (UNSCR 1244), Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. UNICEF is also present in Italy and Greece, supporting refugee and migrant populations.

SITUATION OVERVIEW & HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

Several countries in the South Caucasus and Central Asia (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Tajikistan) and the cluster of Armenia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova continue to report an upward trend. Turkmenistan remains the only country without any reported cases, while Montenegro declared the country “COVID-19 free” following 20 days with no new case. Economic slowdown from prolonged containment has profoundly impacted employment and livelihoods, with families reliant on non-standard employment or the informal sector, who are outside the formal social protection system, suffering disproportionally, exacerbating inequalities. The pandemic has hit marginalized, poorest households hard, making it difficult for them to meet most basic needs. Effective social protection can play a critical role in shielding households from impact of economic shocks, however limited coverage and inadequate benefit levels undermine this effectiveness in the region. Reforms have introduced narrow targeting, leaving many families, including the working poor, without support. With so many families outside the social protection system, it is expected both monetary and multidimensional child poverty will increase, and that countries in ECAR could see an up to 44 per cent increase in the number of children living in poor households, exacerbating existing vulnerabilities, creating new ones and putting child wellbeing at risk.

PROGRAMME RESPONSE HIGHLIGHTS

UNICEF’s response includes provision of protective, life-saving water and hygiene supplies; RCCE on infection prevention and safety, using social/multimedia, and recognizing young people as key conveyors; continuation of education through distance learning; mental health, psychosocial assistance and GBV prevention; and social protection programming. UNICEF is working closely with Governments to introduce flexibility so social protection programmes can address additional vulnerabilities families are experiencing due to COVID-19. This includes helping expand existing systems to rapidly cover households made vulnerable by the economic downturn, providing ‘top-up’ benefits to existing payments, and designing and delivering cash transfers complementing government response. UNICEF has developed and implemented rapid assessments of impacts and emerging needs due to the crisis which, alongside work on modeling the impact of the crisis on child poverty, are helping to guide responses to the crisis.

PILLAR IN FOCUS: SOCIAL PROTECTION

Albania: UNICEF designed and implemented a onetime humanitarian cash transfer (HCT) payment, in partnership with three municipalities, reaching over 1,750 households who are not part of the current social protection programme. UNICEF provided technical advice and leadership to a coalition of international organizations to draft COVID-19 Joint Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for HCTs. The SOPs will offer a common platform of intervention, to streamline the coordination process with municipalities as well as with Government, and to facilitate the understanding of the procedures. UNICEF is leading the work of several UN agencies to conduct an assessment on how social protection measures are helping households coping with the additional vulnerabilities caused by COVID 19, as part of socio-economic assessment in the country.

Armenia: UNICEF together with the Government and partners (UNDP, WFP, World Bank) is developing mechanisms for horizontal expansion of the family benefit system, including rapid needs assessment and beneficiary registration, to primarily cover those employed in the informal sector and not receiving social protection benefits. UNICEF has launched a UN Cash Working Group to coordinate and ensure complementarity on cash transfer programming.

Eastern and Southern Africa

Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Comoros, Eritrea, Eswatini (Swaziland), Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, United Republic of Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe

SITUATION OVERVIEW & HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

As of 12 June, there have been more than 75,300 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with the number continuing to rise. The majority of all cases (77 per cent) were reported in South Africa. Testing capacity remains low in in the region. The actual number of cases is likely to be higher than what is being reported. A greater number of countries are reporting community transmission, including growing numbers of infections among specific groups including health workers, prisoners, IDPs and refugee populations. Many countries in the region have upheld or extended lockdown and curfew policies aimed at curtailing the spread of the virus. This has had subsequent negative impacts on household incomes, schools and access to education, food security, essential health services and access to social services for the most vulnerable women and children. In addition to COVID-19, several countries in the region face multiple intersecting crises which have been worsened by the impacts of the virus; without continuity of essential services and programming, there is significant risk of losing some of the progress that has been achieved over the past 5-10 years for children.

PROGRAMME RESPONSE HIGHLIGHTS

UNICEF continues to engage intensively with governments in Eastern and Southern Africa, advocating for continuation of existing cash transfer programs and adapting them to administer benefits safely and deliver COVID-19 prevention messages to communities. Across the region, UNICEF is supporting governments to adapt their cash transfer programs to make payments safe (ensuring social distancing practices during payments, distributing masks for poor families) as well as informative (providing COVID-19 information). In addition, several UNICEF Country Offices have done extensive work in supporting governments to prepare social protection responses to the crisis, expanding existing cash transfer programs to reach more vulnerable families. However, the lack of emergency funding to the sector has limited the mitigating potential of social protection on the ground, which is clearly evidenced by the massive increases in individual and child poverty across the region.

PILLAR IN FOCUS: SOCIAL PROTECTION

Madagascar: In close coordination with government ministries, UNICEF supported the design, implementation and monitoring of the expansion of cash grants into urban and suburban areas in response to COVID-19. After completing the pre-registration process of about 200,000 households (around 5 per cent directly supported by UNICEF), 769 sub-districts will benefit from the TOSIKA FAMENO (“filling the gap”) program. Launched by the President on 20 April, identified households receive two monthly payments of US$ 26 via mobile money or direct payment. A second phase of expansion is under development. In parallel, UNICEF supports the government to continue regular social protection programs (FIAVOTA and Monetary Transfer for Human Development – Let Us Learn). Support during the pandemic is always provided with the long-term goal of strengthening government systems and their ability to respond to future shocks.

Ethiopia: UNICEF has advocated for the use of existing safety nets as early as possible to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 and diminish the risk of transmission. With support from DFID, UNICEF provided soap as well as hygiene messages to all 600,000 beneficiaries of the Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) that covers 11 cities in Ethiopia, including the capital Addis Ababa. UNICEF is also supporting the government to provide cash transfer top-ups to about 100,000 vulnerable people in the PSNP. Under this emergency initiative, households receiving permanent direct support (elderly, disabled, single-headed households) will begin receiving additional cash top-ups for six months starting in July. Pregnant and breastfeeding women in Addis Ababa who fall in the temporary direct support category will also benefit from a three-month top-up.

SITUATION OVERVIEW & HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

The Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of cases and deaths, with over 1.3 million confirmed cases and over 65,000 deaths. Brazil is the second hardest-hit country worldwide, with Chile, Panama, Suriname reporting sharp increases in daily cases. The LAC region was undergoing a period of economic stagnation. The challenges and measures associated with COVID-19 may cause a contraction of at least 5.3% of regional GDP. According to UNICEF estimations, this would imply that around 15.6 million additional children and adolescents will fall into monetary poverty, in addition to 71.6 million children in this situation pre-COVID. The region also has significant pre-existing gaps in terms of social protection coverage, which have been exacerbated by the economic slowdown, the limited fiscal space, recent migratory flows and social unrest. The social protection response in the region faces a double challenge: 1) guaranteeing the continuity of benefits for those families that were already part of existing programs, but with sufficient transfer amounts to face the current crisis; and 2) to move towards a horizontal expansion that includes vulnerable groups that were not covered by existing poverty reduction programs or social security. Migrant populations continue to be largely excluded from social protection systems, although in some receiving countries, UNICEF has set up humanitarian cash transfers programmes (e.g. Ecuador).

PROGRAMME RESPONSE HIGHLIGHTS

UNICEF’s approach in the social policy/social protection response have focused on three main workstreams: i) providing timely and sound technical assistance to governments on the adaptation or creation of social protection programmes, using different identification options; ii) expanding cash transfer programmes, whether through social protection systems or establishing parallel cash-based interventions (mainly for migrant populations); and iii) developing a research agenda to understand the effects and responses to COVID-19. A recent example of research efforts at country level is the rapid assessment conducted by UNICEF Argentina. This assessment helped capture the socioeconomic effects of COVID-19 on households with children, highlighting the social protection challenges. The study found that after around a month of the implementation of isolation measures (between mid-March until the first half of April), 60% of households (3.6 million) suffered a decrease in their income and 7.2% of households mentioned that at least one member lost their job (representing 400,000 households). As part of UNICEF´s advocacy agenda, this timely and relevant analysis. supported high-level evidence-based discussions on policies that can minimize the impact of isolation and other COVID-19 related measures on children, including with the President of Argentina in April and June. PILLAR IN FOCUS: SOCIAL PROTECTION

Guatemala: Prior to COVID-19, the CO was working closely with the Government in renewing its social registry and data collection tools, in collaboration with the World Bank. In the COVID-19 context, UNICEF’s technical assistance to the Ministry of Social Development has been reinforced to support the implementation of quasi-universal emergency cash transfers for poor families using electricity consumption bill as an identification tool. Through this support, 2 million poor and vulnerable families are being reached across the country.

Dominican Republic: Before the COVID-19 crisis, the CO had invested great efforts in emergency preparedness, in coordination with the national systems. UNICEF and the development community have established an adaptative Social Protection Coordination mechanism, which has created a comprehensive social assistance targeting that includes even an index of vulnerability to natural hazards. In addition, UNICEF had pre-existing signed agreements to be able to channel emergency resources through the government. In the context of COVID-19, capitalizing on these preparedness efforts, with LACRO technical support, the CO advocated for and achieved the inclusion of almost 3,000 families with children with disabilities in the national cash transfer programme (more than 8,600 people in total).

Middle East and North Africa

Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, State of Palestine, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates and Yemen

SITUATION OVERVIEW & HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

The situation among countries in MENA varies with some countries facing a suspected uncontrolled epidemic (Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Egypt), others witnessing a new wave of cases in the wake of the easing of lockdowns (Iran, Iraq), and a group of countries having managed to flatten the epidemic curve (UAE, Kuwait, Algeria, Qatar, Morocco, Jordan, Lebanon). The situation remains worrying in Sudan and Yemen as testing is limited. In Yemen, health workers require additional personal protection equipment. The utilization of health services by families and communities is dropping out of fears of being exposed to the virus. UNICEF is witnessing a similar disruption of or decrease in the utilization of immunization services in other countries of the region such as Iraq, Sudan, Egypt, Lebanon, and Libya. UNICEF and WHO have warned that an additional 51,000 under-5 children deaths might occur in the next 6 months should efforts fail to resume use of primary health care services. Risks of social tensions persist throughout the region as measures to control the epidemic have hit the most vulnerable and issues related to governance, allegations of corruption and economic mismanagement during social unrest pre-COVID remain unaddressed.

PROGRAMME RESPONSE HIGHLIGHTS

To alleviate the socio-economic impact of COVID-19 on the most vulnerable families, UNICEF has supported government efforts to expand social protection programmes, including emergency cash transfers benefitting the most vulnerable populations -- notably those working in the informal sector, migrants, refugees or Internally Displaced People (IDPs) -- by promoting the use of RapidPro software via short message service (SMS) and other communication channels to accelerate registration and payments. UNICEF is strengthening capacities of national systems to make them more shock-responsive in the future, through improved platforms for cash transfers.

PILLAR IN FOCUS: SOCIAL PROTECTION

Morocco: UNICEF advocated for and provided technical support to the Government’s roll out of an emergency cash transfer programme benefitting segments of the population who have been working in the informal sector and who lost their jobs or incomes due to the socio-economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost 4.1 million households (almost 95% of the target), including an estimated 3.2 million children, have received a first cash transfer. An online platform was set up to register and deal with complaints by beneficiaries. In addition, UNICEF and the World Bank are supporting a survey by the High Commission for Planning (National Institute of Statistics) to analyze the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic. The results will inform the national response, notably on health, education, employment, as well as corrective measures in coverage and gaps in the early social protection measures taken by the Government. Jordan: UNICEF provided technical support to the design of a national emergency cash transfer programme financed by the World Bank to support daily-wage workers who lost livelihoods due to restrictions and lockdown measures. 200,000 daily-wage workers have benefitted till now. The programme will be expanded to cover another 25,000 households, starting mid-June. UNICEF is also supporting the government’s response to grievances and complaints by beneficiaries through the establishment of a registration platform and two-way SMS communication systems. In addition, UNICEF continues to provide technical assistance to the National Aid Fund in the continuous delivery of a monthly cash assistance to 100,000 households, and to the Complementary Income Support Programme ‘Takaful’ (‘Solidarity) to support an additional 55,000 households through quarterly cash assistance payments.

UNICEF GLOBAL COVID-19 Situation Report No.7 29 May – 10 June 2020

South Asia Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka

SITUATION OVERVIEW & HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

During the reporting period, South Asia region recorded a total of 237,228 new cases. This represents an 86% increase compared to the previous reporting period, with Nepal and India reporting the highest increases. With the relaxation of the lockdown measures across the region there has been a spike in the number of cases across the region due to mass movement of people particularly migrants’ laborers returning home. In Pakistan, due to the rapid increase in cases the hospital capacity in major hotspots is quickly running short and WHO is recommending the government to reimpose targeted and intermittent lockdown. In India and Nepal millions of migrant laborers are expected to return home thereby increasing the risk of further spread of the disease. While the testing capacity remains low across the region, there is a major concern that the number of cases could be higher than the current numbers. The socio-economic impact of COVID-19 has led to a sharp fall in living standards for much of the population, impacting employment, health and education and potentially pushing hundreds of thousands of vulnerable households into poverty. A recent assessment conducted in Sri Lanka showed that 71 per cent of respondents reported that their household income has either completely stopped (39 per cent) or reduced (32 per cent), while 30 per cent of respondent households reduced their food consumption which could have significant impact on the nutrition status of children.

PROGRAMME RESPONSE HIGHLIGHTS

The key priority for the RO/CO response plans is on the immediate measures that must be undertaken to ensure preparedness and response actions to prevent and respond to the COVID-19 outbreak in each country. One key priority for the RO/CO response plans includes promoting cash transfers to address the social impact of the epidemic. Recent assessments in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka show that due to COVID-19, over 71% of households have experienced a complete loss or reduction of income. Therefore, UNICEF country offices across the region continue to advocate for the increased investment and scaling up of social protection mechanisms targeting women and children.

PILLAR IN FOCUS: SOCIAL PROTECTION

Nepal: In Nepal, about 40 per cent of the households with children are adversely affected by the COVID 19 related economic hardship, that includes more than 1.5 million children with children of daily wage earners and informal sector workforce being the worst affected. Since the aftermath of the 2015 Earthquake, UNICEF has been working with the government to develop shock responsive social protection mechanism based on experiences and lessons learnt from the earthquake response. For the current COVID-19 response UNICEF has conducted research to inform its advocacy strategy with the government to strengthen its social protection response to COVID-19. Despite weak macro-economic context, UNICEF’s advocacy on strengthening of child grants achieved initial success as the government has committed to expand the universal child grant to 11 new districts. This expansion will benefit an estimated 415,000 children and their families, many living in COVID-19 hotspots where economic activity is curtailed. In addition, UNICEF is working with the government, DFID and World Bank to develop a COVID specific response through expansion of child grants.

SITUATION OVERVIEW & HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

As of 10 June, there was a 39% increase in confirmed cases in the region since the last report, largely due to an increase in testing capacity in most countries. WCAR accounts for 47% of all confirmed cases and for 40% of all associated deaths in Africa. The number of infected frontline health workers has doubled in the last two weeks, with Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, Guinea and DRC reporting the highest number of health workers infected by COVID-19. The crisis is impacting social protection systems and programs in West and Central Africa, particularly for the most vulnerable groups of the community living in extreme poverty. Nine countries in the region have provided rapid cash transfers to the COVID-19 affected populations using national systems, though the funding opportunities for such activities have been limited.

PROGRAMME RESPONSE HIGHLIGHTS

UNICEF is playing an important role in supporting national governments to adapt their social protection programmes to channel social assistance to populations affected by COVID. The pandemic has highlighted that social protection systems in many countries in West and Central Africa Region are not robust enough to quickly respond to rapid onset shocks. Social registers have often been considered as rapid entry points for targeting vulnerable populations in times of shocks. However, the pandemic has affected many individuals who were not previously eligible to be included in social registries, calling for new approaches to effectively target those most vulnerable populations within the current situation. Social protection social registers are being used as an entry point for vertical and horizontal extension of existing programs in most of the countries in West and Central Africa. Considering that the pandemic has affected many individuals who were not previously eligible into the Social register, complementary targeting approaches are also being used to effectively reach the new categories of vulnerable populations affected by the pandemic. In Ghana for example, UNICEF is supporting national Government in exploring options for a temporary expansion of LEAP to cover additional people during 2020, using existing social protection data. The overall approach is to ensure that design and operational modifications – tools, procedures, monitoring, etc. feed into strengthening the shock-responsiveness of the social protection system, a priority area that had already been identified with government prior to the COVID-19 crisis.

PILLAR IN FOCUS: SOCIAL PROTECTION

Ghana: UNICEF has supported the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) to modify its existing national social protection programmes to ensure continuity of services for poor and vulnerable children and families, and to mitigate potential socio-economic impacts of COVID-19. A key part of the initial social protection response has been the delivery of ‘extraordinary’ payments in May to 322,000 households participating in the Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) programme (about 1,500,000 beneficiaries, including more than 800,000 children). The extraordinary payments in combination with their regular scheduled payments are equal to four months’ worth of social assistance and are intended to help alleviate economic pressures on very poor and vulnerable households and to enable them to apply safe health and social distancing practices.

DRC: UNICEF continues to provide technical assistance to the government to put in place shock responsive social protection systems. Specifically, within the COVID response, UNICEF supported the Ministry of Social Affairs to develop a standard questionnaire of eligibility, which was one of the DRC government requirements to trigger World Bank budget support. This questionnaire is intended for use by all actors in DRC after being submitted for consultation with main technical and financial actors.
