Question

Write a full paragraph on the socio-economic impact of covid 19 in South Africa

Answer 1

The Framework for the Immediate Socio-Economic Response to the COVID-19 Crisis issued by the United Nations warns that “the COVID-19 pandemic is considerably more than a health crisis: it is impacting communities and economies at their core.” While the pandemic's impact may differ by nation, it will almost certainly exacerbate poverty and inequities on a global scale, making SDG attainment even more urgent.” As a result, the UN system has mobilized its entire capacity through its 131 country teams serving 162 countries and territories to assist national authorities in drafting public health readiness and response strategies to the COVID-19 issue.

The socioeconomic response, together with the health response coordinated by WHO and the Global Humanitarian Response Plan, will be one of three essential components of the UN's COVID-19 response. UNDP and its national offices worldwide are working on analyzing the socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic on economies and communities as the technical lead for the socio-economic response. This report includes the early findings of South Africa's socioeconomic evaluation.
