Partnering with WHO to respond to the COVID-19 crisis

Impact17 and Alliance4Impact have been participating in WHO coordinated outreach in response to COVID-19 since the beginning of the crisis.

To facilitate the response, WHO has requested that we share the document “Asks to the private sector in the response to COVID-19”

The document contains guidance on how to protect business against COVID-19, and how to help support the response. It also include references to WHO and other resources that are useful to businesses.

Impact17, in partnership with Alliance4Impact and Meaningful Business, also hosted a digital discussion series on business response to COVID-19. Each discussion focused on solutions to the pressing challenges during COVID-19.

The intention was for business leaders to share what they are currently doing, and to understand what individual and collective action might be useful.
