Just over 6 months after the World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic on 11 March 2020, the number of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases in many parts of the Asia-Pacific region continues to grow at a rapid rate.

Although several countries are now stable or improving, this unprecedented global and regional crisis calls for a targeted response and preventative measures to avoid and mitigate further effects.

The COVID-19: Six Months on Report is Plan International’s analysis of the current situation of children, women and vulnerable groups after 6 months of effects from the COVID-19 pandemic in the Asia-Pacific region. It highlights our response, outputs and impacts during this time, as well as funding gaps and priority needs for future actions.

This report discusses the indirect effects of COVID-19 and highlights our response to the global crisis, including both immediate relief measures and long-term efforts to “stop the setback” for girls, boys, women and other vulnerable groups. It compiles information from across the Asia-Pacific region and provides a broad view of the changes, challenges and progress observed over the past 6 months to determine the necessary next steps to respond more effectively to the pandemic.
