Project activities include: (1) establishing cohorts with population groups with distinct SRHR needs in selected rural and urban areas; (2) estimating SRH-related disease burden, risk factors and outcomes in different populations with distinct SRH needs; (3) understanding COVID-19-related susceptibility, role in transmission dynamics and clinical outcomes in different populations with distinct SRH needs and vulnerability; (4) assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the behaviour, practice and health of different populations with SRH distinct needs; (5) setting up invention and innovation hubs through selective inventions and innovations designed, developed and tested for promoting prevention and protection and for improving treatment; (6) conducting research prioritisation exercise for promoting prevention and protection and for improving treatment; (7) establishing a health facility network of selective public and private facilities providing SRHR services; (8) assessing the service availability, accessibility, readiness and quality of essential SRHR services in selective public and private facilities; (9) tracking the trend and pattern of SRHR service utilisation and case-mix in selective public and private facilities; and (10) creating SRH interest group, developing short course on SRHR programs and research.

Technologies that can speedily and efficiently analyze large amounts of data in real-time are playing a critical role in helping healthcare professionals and governments predict the impact and spread of the Covid-19 virus over time. Enhanced data-sharing capabilities, particularly syndromic data between the population and health professionals, are also proving to be an indispensable tool for governments to confront the pandemic.

These needs are worsened by the ongoing impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, other health epidemics, increased violence across eastern provinces and political uncertainty.

January 2021, approximately 235 million people worldwide will need humanitarian assistance and protection due in part to ongoing conflicts, natural disasters and recent disease outbreaks. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has exacerbated the needs globally and placed further strain on an already stretched humanitarian system.

In 2021, at least 4 million people in Cameroon will be needing humanitarian assistance to meet their basic survival and protection needs, which are further aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

With GAC’s support, L’Oeuvre-Léger is meeting the urgent needs of 104,622 people affected by the conflict in the Far North region.

Due to the current environment and the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations have been struggling with the implementation of their planned activities and have expressed difficulty addressing emerging needs.

As a result, WATC and the wider community will be fully equipped to address the long-term impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on survivors across Canada and to provide better care to more survivors.

The first supplemental funding will be used to mitigate the impact that COVID-19 restrictions have had on the project by allowing the organization to; expand the team and capitalize on organizational strengths so that they are in a strong position to gain members and revenue as women’s businesses recover, implement Advocacy Strategy and Advocacy-related Communications, and offer signature programs to encourage membership and promote engagement, and launch pilot chapters with Regional Managers.

This 27-month project will support a feminist response to and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19 through systemic changes. To achieve this, the Centre femmes de La Mitis intends to support its regional county municipality (RCM) in implementing concrete measures, such as adopting inclusive codes of conduct, to reform practices and promote women's participation in political life.
