Recover, Rebound, Reimagine: Building a Better Future for Every Child in East Asia and the Pacific, Post COVID-19
UNICEF
This report summarizes the challenges, opportunities and proposed actions during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic as they relate to social protection, emergencies, the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programme, immunization, education, child protection, nutrition, climate change, migrants, adolescents, mental health, gender equality and business and family friendly policies in East Asia and the Pacific -- all through the prism of UNICEF's Recover, Rebound and Reimagine strategy. This is a call to work together towards a more protected, healthier and immunized population, with an education system that leaves no one behind. A more equal, safe and fair world for all children. Keeping children physically and mentally healthy, well-nourished and safe, is the most urgent priority. The 'Recover' phase is about restoring the provision of essential services -- and scaling up successful interventions -- to support children, particularly those whose underlying conditions make them even more vulnerable to infection from the virus. Nurturing children's resilience amid the suspension or disruption of basic services is what the 'Rebound' phase is about, with the focus on protecting the most vulnerable. Reimagining nutrition, the WASH programme, mental health, and responses to climate change is the final phase. Reimagining is about tapping into an experimental mind-set to tackle obstacles on the road to creating a more equitable, inclusive and resilient society, one able to better cope with tomorrow's disasters.
