Shared Responsibility, Global Solidarity: Responding to the Socio-Economic Impacts of COVID-19 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: United Nations (UN) We are facing a global health crisis unlike any in the 75-year history of the United Nations — one that is killing people, spreading human suffering, and upending people’s lives. But this is much more than a health crisis. It is a human crisis. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is attacking societies at their core. The IMF has just reassessed the prospect for growth for 2020 and 2021, declaring that we have entered a recession – as bad as or worse than in 2009. The IMF projects recovery in 2021 only if the world succeeds in containing the virus and take the necessary economic measures.In the face of such an unprecedented situation in recent history, the creativity of the response must match the unique nature of the crisis – and the magnitude of the response must match its scale. No country will be able to exit this crisis alone.This report is a call to action, for the immediate health response required to suppress transmission of the virus to end the pandemic; and to tackle the many social and economic dimensions of this crisis. It is, above all, a call to focus on people – women, youth, low-wage workers, small and medium enterprises, the informal sector and on vulnerable groups who are already at risk. 
Statement of International Development NGOs of Korea on the Global Fight against COVID-19 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Korea NGO Council for Overseas Development Cooperation (KCOC) The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has become a global crisis. Since the WHO declared it as a pandemic on March 11, we’ve seen an exponential growth of the numbers of confirmed cases and deaths across the world. No one can predict a peak or duration of the crisis at this point.As the U.S. and European countries with relatively effective healthcare infrastructure are also struggling with the pandemic, the magnitude of damages on developing countries would be unimaginable. It would be extremely difficult for vulnerable states to tackle the crisis by themselves. Now is the time that we forge international solidarity and find solutions together. 국제사회의 코로나19 퇴치를 위한 한국 국제개발협력 시민사회단체들의 호소문 Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: Korea NGO Council for Overseas Development Cooperation (KCOC) 코로나19가 전 지구적 위기로 다가왔습니다. 지난 3월 11일 세계보건기구(WHO)가 팬데믹을 선언한 이래, 전 세계 확진자 및 사망자의 수가 기하급수적으로 증가하고 있고, 그 정점이 어디인지, 언제까지 이 사태가 계속될지 누구도 예측하지 못하는 상황입니다.보건 의료 인프라가 잘 갖춰진 미국과 유럽에서조차 팬데믹의 영향이 심각한 상황임을 감안할 때, 향후 개발도상국(이하 개도국)이 받게 될 피해의 정도를 가늠하기 어렵습니다. 취약한 나라일수록 스스로의 노력만으로 현 위기 상황을 타개하기란 매우 어렵기에 우리는 지금부터 국제적으로 연대하고 공동으로 해결방안을 모색해야 합니다. 또한 개도국의 감염예방 및 치료를 돕는 것이 곧 우리의 안전을 지키는 일이며, 필수적이고도 선제적인 예방책이 될 것이라는 점을 기억해야 합니다.
