Long Description
March 2020 – In response to the COVID19 global pandemic, the United Nations launched the Global Humanitarian Response Plan (GHRP) on 25 March 2020. The GHRP seeks to respond to the direct public health and immediate humanitarian consequences of the pandemic. It has three strategic priorities: 1) containing the spread of the pandemic, 2) decreasing the deterioration of human assets and rights, social cohesion and livelihoods, and 3) protecting, assisting and advocating for refugees, internally displaced people, migrants and host communities particularly vulnerable to the pandemic. With GAC's support, WFP is providing tangible assets and supply chain services required for humanitarian and health actors to be able to deliver the response outlined in this GHRP. Project activities include: (1) establishing and reinforcing international staging areas and regional hubs for cargo consolidation and forwarding, (2) providing logistics services through sea vessels and aircrafts, from international staging areas to regional hubs, and onwards to priority country points of entry, and (3) providing the humanitarian community with medical evacuation services and the infrastructure for field clinics (not medical equipment) for front line aid workers. / Mars 2020 – En réponse à la pandémie mondiale de coronavirus (COVID-19), les Nations Unies ont lancé un plan de réponse humanitaire mondial le 25 mars 2020. Ce plan vise à répondre aux conséquences directes de la pandémie sur la santé publique et l'aide humanitaire immédiate. Les trois priorités stratégiques du plan sont les suivantes : 1) contenir la progression de la pandémie, 2) limiter la détérioration du capital humain, de la situation des droits de la personne, de la cohésion sociale et des moyens de subsistance, et 3) protéger et aider les réfugiés, les personnes déplacées à l'intérieur de leur pays, les migrants et les collectivités d'accueil, en particulier les plus vulnérables face à la pandémie, ainsi que défendre leurs intérêts.
