Actions for consideration in the care and protection of vulnerable population groups for COVID-19
The guidance note outlines priority actions in three areas to improve equitable access to groups living in vulnerable situations.
To help us better understand and operationalize the four priority areas set forth by WPRO’s For the Future five-year strategy and vision paper using a gender and equity lens, there are a series of internal and external resources that we can use. While many of these resources are specific to one particular action area, others are more cross-cutting in nature and therefore respond to two or more of the priority areas at once. In this section, you will find a range of resources that we hope will guide you in your work, including: articles and grey literature, reports, tools and instruments, trainings and guidance notes, political commitments and mandates, as well as set of definitions and concepts.
