Supporting CSOs to be Resilient Amidst [and Post] Covid-19
Despite the ease of some of the restrictions introduced in March by most West Africa governments to stem the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), major restrictions including public gatherings, physical distancing, freedom of movement, which limit civil society’s operations in the region (social and civic services) are still in place.
The situation is more alarming with the rapidly increasing number of cases in Africa after the continent hit 1.2 million cases at the end of August. As a result, the World Health Organisation (WHO) warned that the coronavirus pandemic is accelerating in Africa and stressed that it took 98 days for Africa to reach the first 100,000 cases, and only 18 days to move to 200,000 cases and now had recorded over 1 million cases. >>
