Strengthening Uganda's Emergency Response and Recovery from COVID-19
In partnership with the National Emergency Coordination and Operation Center (NECOC) and with financial support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, UNDP have begun efforts to support the ongoing management of COVID-19 and building resilience capacity under the coordination of the Office of the Prime Minister of Uganda (OPM) through the ‘Strengthening Uganda’s Emergency Response and Recovery to COVID-19' Project. This project will be instrumental in enhancing national response to multi-hazard induced disasters with benefits that stretch beyond COVID-19, including optimizing the efficiency of systemic processes within NECOC and its regional, district and supportive cross border mechanisms. This project focuses on vulnerable communities living on Uganda’s border exposed to high risks of contracting the disease due to their proximity to transport hubs. The emergence of these border hotspots has created the need for increased surveillance to ensure a timely response to natural or public health emergencies.
