Explanation:
The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is the defining global health crisis of our time and the greatest challenge we have faced since World War Two. Since its emergence in Asia late last year, the virus has spread to every continent except Antarctica.
But the pandemic is much more than a health crisis, it's also an unprecedent socio-economic crisis. Stressing every one of the countries it touches, it has the potential to create devastating social, economic and political effects that will leave deep and longstanding scars. UNDP is the technical lead in the UN’s socio-economic recovery, alongside the health response, led by WHO, and the Global Humanitarian Response Plan, and working under the leadership of the UN Resident Coordinators.
Every day, people are losing jobs and income, with no way of knowing when normality will return. Small island nations, heavily dependent on tourism, have empty hotels and deserted beaches. The International Labour Organization estimates that 195 million jobs could be lost.
The World Bank projects a US$110 billion decline in remittances this year, which could mean 800 million people will not be able to meet their basic needs.
UNDP response
Every country needs to act immediately to prepare, respond, and recover. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has launched a US$2 billion global humanitarian response plan in the most vulnerable. Developing countries could lose at least US$220 billion in income, and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development has called for US$2.5 trillion to support them.
Drawing on our experience with other outbreaks such as Ebola, HIV, SARS, TB and malaria, as well as our long history of working with the private and public sector, UNDP will help countries to urgently and effectively respond to COVID-19 as part of its mission to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and build resilience to crises and shocks.
The next phase of UNDP’s COVID-19 crisis response is designed to help decision-makers look beyond recovery, towards 2030, making choices and managing complexity and uncertainty in four main areas: governance, social protection, green economy, and digital disruption. It encompasses our role in technically leading the UN’s socio-economic response.

“We are already hard at work, together with our UN family and other partners, on three immediate priorities: supporting the health response including the procurement and supply of essential health products, under WHO’s leadership, strengthening crisis management and response, and addressing critical social and economic impacts.”
UNDP Administrator, Achim Steiner
We have been supporting countries since the very early stages of this crisis, donating essential protective medical equipment. As the response evolves, and after assessing the immediate, medium and long term needs, we are moving into the socio-economic response.
We are supporting small businesses in Bosnia and Herzegovina, after an assessment report estimates half could close in the next few months.
In Ecuador our Accelerator Lab is using crowdsourcing to connect the most vulnerable with food, goods and services.

Explanation:
Today, all of us here are stuck at home due to the coronavirus pandemic which all over the world has taken over 4,80,000 lives. For some people this lockdown has been a time filled with games, friends (though virtually), studies, time with family, it has been everything but a disaster. While there are others who have practically lost everything, their source of income and their savings. 1.6 billion, that is the number of people who are at the brink of losing their livelihoods, which is about half of the world’s working force. And a lot more have not got their salaries during the ongoing lockdown as their work is at a halt. This virus which broke out from Wuhan in China has given a task to all the scientists around the world to find a vaccine which hasn’t been discovered yet. Apart from just the outbreak, this lockdown has ruined many birthdays, anniversaries, weddings not that they matter but what matters are the others things that have ruined many people's sleep, the intense situation at the India-China border, and the Black lives matter protests all over the world. The areas which are most affected during the lockdown is the travel and leisure industry. The closing of schools has also caused a huge impact on the education system. While the whole world is waiting for our lives to return back to normal all we can do is STAY HOME and STAY SAFE
