An Unequal Pandemic: Insights and Evidence from Communities and Civil Society Organisations

 An Unequal Pandemic:   Insights and Evidence from Communities and Civil Society Organisations

People who have been marginalised have made critical contributions to the COVID-19 pandemic response. In contrast to communities’ efforts, official government responses to COVID-19 have often overlooked or excluded people who have been marginalised.

To understand the unequal effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and chart the pathway to an inclusive recovery, a group of CSOs formed the Civil Society Collaborative on Inclusive COVID-19 Data. Working alongside communities, the Collaborative advocates for a more holistic approach that values using community and CSO data to help meet the diverse needs of people and groups who have been marginalised.
