The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered an unprecedented global health, humanitarian, socioeconomic and human rights crisis. The government-enforced closures and social distancing measures introduced to combat the COVID-19 crisis have revealed risks and weaknesses for which many organizations were ill prepared.
