Please see our website for more information http://www.islamic-relief.org/ PROJECT BACKGROUND 2020 will remain an unforgettable year for humanity with the exponential spread of Covid-19 across the world and the resultant loss of life, widespread lockdowns, restrictions in social contact and in many countries, compounding humanitarian crisis, on top of pre-existing and new crisis caused by conflict, natural disasters and climate change. Global humanitarian impacts from Covid-19 during 2020 are summarised below from OCHA-s Global Humanitarian Response Plan Update (February 2021): In less than one year (March-December 2020), more than 82 million COVID-19 cases and 1.8 million deaths were recorded. Beyond the immediate health impacts of COVID-19, the secondary effects of the pandemic were particularly grievous in humanitarian settings. Closures and lockdowns, and market volatility drastically increased food insecurity, pushing over 270 million people worldwide to suffer from acute food insecurity by the end of 2020. Gender-based violence sharply increased, fuelled by the loss of referral pathways, access to information, the closures of schools and safe spaces, and the day-to-day isolation of women and girls during lockdowns. Some countries recorded a 700 per cent increase in calls to gender-based violence (GBV) hotlines in the first months of the pandemic. The pandemic also increased the abuse and neglect of older persons who are the group most at-risk of dying from COVID-19. Health service disruptions also led to a 30 per cent reduction in the global coverage of essential nutrition services, leaving nearly seven million additional children at risk of suffering from acute malnutrition. The closure of schools led to the loss of important early intervention opportunities for protection, mental health and psychosocial support, and nutrition programmes. The economic contractions worldwide brought about the first increase in extreme poverty since 1998. In January 2021, it was estimated that between 119 million and 124 million people could have fallen back into extreme poverty in 2020 due to COVID-19, with an additional increase of between 24 million and 39 million people in 2021, potentially bringing the number of new people living in extreme poverty to between 143 million and 163 million. Under this unprecedented challenge, Islamic Relief Worldwide and our country programmes launched significant Covid-19 response efforts throughout 2020 to confront both the primary and secondary impacts of the pandemic. Whilst initial responses were focused on short-term lifesaving needs including risk communication and community engagement (RCCE), strengthening health systems to take care of Covid-19 affected patients, and providing emergency food security assistance to those impacted by lockdowns, Islamic Relief also recognised the need to act on the secondary impacts. IR-s initial response strategy is summarised below: Working with communities to promote good hygiene practices and equip them with the information they need to halt the spread of the virus 4 Supporting and strengthening healthcare services Making sure the long-term impacts of the crisis are addressed from the outset.
