In addressing the immediate impacts of the COVID-19, the role of women in combatting the pandemic needs to be recognised, as well as the increased risk of gender based violence, including sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (SEAH). In addition, a global investment effort for a green and global sustainable recovery is needed, with developed and developing countries coming together in its design.ДЄ supportive multilateral system is crucial to keep governments accountable and refrain from measures that disrupt flows of goods and services to foster innovative and coherent responses and to increase co-ordination in contexts of multiple crises, such as in the Sahel. The scope for co-ordinated and equitable debt management efforts and concessional resources should be explored, building on the debt service payment standstill agreed by the G20 Finance Ministers on April 15. Official development assistance, should, to every extent possible, be protected and stepped up, while expanding support to global public goods. Support for the economic recovery is crucial too, as governments need to deploy income-support and stimulus measures to protect jobs and firms. Immediate support to the healthcare sector, its workers, and social infrastructure should go hand-in-hand with efforts to strengthen health systems and expand social protection and health coverage. It should lead to a new development model that is conducive to resilience and sustainability. It must preserve hard-won gains in poverty reduction, social inclusion and democratic governance, and enable a sustainable economic recovery. The international response to COVID-19 should be unprecedented in terms of resources mobilised, scope and ambition. OECD governments and the broader international community need to unlock ambitious support to developing countries, to prevent the loss of lives, contain the risk of aftershocks, and invest in their sustainable recovery. Twice as many countries have approached the IMF for short-term emergency assistance as in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis. They are entering this crisis with lower fiscal buffers than they had in 2008-09. They may have disproportionate impacts for poor people and socially marginalised and excluded groups.Дeveloping countries urgently need support from the international community. Moreover, containment measures may be difficult to implement and have ripple effects in contexts of widespread informality and a lack of safety nets for the majority of households. Many developing countries have been grappling with structural vulnerabilities such as persistent social and economic inequalities, conflict and forced displacement, declining trust in government, the impacts of climate change, and environmental fragility.Д¬rucially, many lack the resources to scale-up health interventions and the fiscal space to implement support measures and minimise disruptions the way OECD countries are currently doing. The crisis will aggravate existing development challenges, and while governments have started to respond, their capacity is tightly constrained. Socio-economic impacts are already being felt and will have long-lasting consequences, possibly reversing decades of progress in poverty eradication: exports in developing Asia are falling, growth in Africa could be halved, and an extra 30 million people in Latin America could fall into poverty.Д¬ontainment measures in developing countries will further affect businesses and households, and could disrupt supply chains, engender a food security crisis, and result in increased incidence of gender based violence.

In many developing countries, the pandemic comes in addition to pre-existing food or security crises.

They are facing an unprecedented health and economic crisis, with potentially extreme economic, social and sustainable development consequences that may reverse decades of development progress and further jeopardise efforts to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.ДЄ significant increase in infections could rapidly overwhelm already weak health systems.

Developing countries will be hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
