SPOTLIGHTING: Cities and Other Sub-National COVID-19 Responses for South-South and Triangular Cooperation (UNOSSC-UNDRR, 2022)

“SPOTLIGHTING: Cities and Other Sub-National COVID-19 Responses for South-South and Triangular Cooperation” is the result of a collaboration between the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC) under its South-South Cities Project framework, and the United Nations Office for Disaster and Risk Reduction (UNDRR), with the support of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)/World Health Organization (WHO).

The experiences in the report cover a wide range of topics, including diverse strategies for public health emergency response, especially those involving digital technologies and direct support to vulnerable populations, women, children, elderly populations, and youth.

It is a knowledge product to help advance the exchange of replicable and adaptable practices and knowledge-sharing between local authorities and experts and to promote understanding of the different challenges, solutions, approaches, and sectoral strategies being undertaken in the Global South.
