COVID-19 and Human Development: Exploring global preparedness and vulnerability
Posted on: April 29, 2020
COVID-19 crisis is more than a global health emergency; it is a systemic human development crisis, reflecting our interaction with the ecosystem we are part of, which is already affecting the economic and social dimensions of development in unprecedented ways.

The two dashboards here look at how prepared countries are for a crisis like COVID-19 and how vulnerable they are.
