Leaving No One Behind: From the Covid-19 Response to Recovery and Resilience-building

Abstract

This report has been developed in line with the recommendations of the United Nations Secretary General on the need to assess the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 guided by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its central thrust to ‘Leave No One Behind' (LNOB). It focuses on a series of in-depth analyses by the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Uganda, generating quantified values for actual and potential losses for Uganda’s economy and vulnerable groups as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (hereafter referred to as "the pandemic"). It analyses the magnitude and nature of impact on selected sectors and segments of the population which are deeply affected by the outbreak and identifies the most effective interventions to address the short, medium and long-term impacts. The sectors and segments of the population assessed have been identified based on the potential transmission channels of impact, viewed through the lens of LNOB.
