Explanation:
COVID-19 has affected almost every country in the
world, some of which were already experiencing
humanitarian crises. Data about the scale, severity and
duration of the outbreak is in demand as decision
makers and responders seek to mitigate the impact of the virus in developing countries. To make it easy to find relevant data, the United Nations Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) created a dedicated page for COVID-19 data on their
Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) platform which
brings together data from hundreds of partners.
The COVID-19 pandemic page includes dozens of
datasets in machine-readable formats, all of which are also available through the HDX API. Some of themost
notable contributions include the INFORM COVID-19
Risk Index which ranks countries vulnerable to health
and humanitarian impacts of COVID-19; WHO’s
COVID-19 case data for China and the rest of the world;
UNESCO’s global school closures data; and WFP’s
COVID-19 global travel restrictions and airline
Information.
The COVID-19 response presents a range of
challenges around the management of data, especially
as it relates to data about an individual’s health. To help staff, the members of the Inter-Agency Standing
Committee (IASC) Sub-Group on Data Responsibility
(co-led by OCHA, IOM, and UNHCR) developed a
resource page with practical guidance and basic
precautions all organisations can take to ensure the
ethical and safe handling of COVID-19 data.
Humanitarian and development organisations are
encouraged to close data gaps by sharing data that is critical but often missing. For the COVID-19 response,
this includes data on the location of health and
education facilities, food insecurity and malnutrition
rates, and transportation routes and mobility patterns.
