The pandemic has triggered an unprecedented development emergency, rolling back progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals at risk. The United Nations Secretary-General’s COVID-19 Response and Recovery Trust Fund is bringing the power, speed and reach of the United Nations to countries and people to recover better together.
The Fund is working hand-in-hand with countries and help them to cope with and recover from the pandemic’s social and economic impacts.
The investments are diverse but align with some common principles: concrete and immediate action, a focus on Leaving No One Behind, and a commitment to inclusion.
Now it is the time to invest in multilateralism. If we stand together, we will rise together. We will recover better together.
he pandemic has revealed the deep fragilities in our world. To tackle these fragilities, we need to reduce inequality and injustice, and to strengthen the bonds of mutual support and trust.
