Covid-19 Response

Our team is busy working to help people, governments and firms tackle the huge challenges caused by the COVID-19 crisis in the sectors we support.

Covid-19 Response

The environment is uncertain and fast-moving – requiring a dynamic and flexible approach informed by solid evidence and up-to-date intelligence.

We are gathering information and talking to partners to help stakeholders coordinate and ensure sectors are in the best possible position to mitigate the impact, survive the crisis and thrive in the future. We will share more about our response as the situation evolves.

On this page we will also share useful information we have collected from other sources – we hope this may be helpful to others.
