The role of young people in “infodemic management” during the COVID-19 pandemic
Thursday 23 July | 15:30-16:30 Geneva
Engaging young people during the COVID-19 health emergency and involving them effectively in infodemic management, including risk communication and community engagement is a critical part of the United Nations’ COVID-19 global response plan. Failure to connect and communicate well with young people during this pandemic will affect their ability to protect themselves, their loved ones and their communities, and can erode their trust in health-care and other institutions. This webinar will highlight the role of young people in “infodemic management” including risk communication, community engagement and access to information and establish a collaboration platform between youth organisations and UN agencies to support young people in the COVID-19 response.

Managing new kinds of public & private health partnerships during and beyond COVID-19
29th July | 11am GMT
As a continuation of a series on new partnerships for health systems – on 29 July, a panel of health systems innovators and senior policymakers will share experiences and discuss the mechanisms for engagement with public-private health partnerships during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
Panellists will address key questions such as how can the new types of partnership for health system capacity be sustained beyond pilots? What choices need to be made by whom? What is the role of research evidence in promoting shared value and strengthening partnerships across sectors after COVID-19? And, what needs to be done to address the barriers that prevent local innovations being rolled-out, integrated, and scaled-up?

Next Meeting: COVID-19 Response in Conflict Affected Areas
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to circle the globe, organizations currently working in emergency response in conflict areas are being faced with mounting challenges and pressures. As many of these pressures existed prior to the advent of the pandemic, efforts to support communities are further being eroded by the pandemic. Of particular concern is access to limited and diminishing resources, especially for women, children and the most vulnerable in these areas. Yet, the pandemic also provides an opportunity to advance peace efforts in some areas. This call will highlight the specific challenges in conflict zones during the initial phases of the pandemic and how groups are creatively coping with these challenges. At the same time, the panel of presenters will accentuate how coordinated responses by youth groups and women’s organizations can proactively contribute to the promotion of peace.

Addressing the Global Need for Later Abortion Care During COVID-19
The global pandemic is highlighting vulnerabilities in sexual and reproductive health care, while simultaneously accelerating the innovative and collaborative efforts needed to meet the needs of women and girls. Accessing an abortion at or after 13 weeks is already challenging in many settings, especially for marginalized groups such as adolescents, victims of violence, and those with financial and logistical barriers to care—all of which have been exacerbated by COVID-19. Delays in seeking services as a result of the pandemic are likely to increase the need for abortion at later gestational ages.
