Press release
UNICEF THANKS THE ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK FOR ITS SUPPORT TO THE COVID-19
RESPONSE
15 April 2020
UNICEF
BANGKOK, 15 April 2020: UNICEF welcomes a US$3.5 million grant from the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) to provide urgent medical supplies in 16 countries across
West and Central Asia; South Asia; and East Asia and Pacific to support
governments in the ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This grant is being used to buy medical supplies and personal protective
equipment for health care staff and others on the frontline of response efforts
in Armenia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cook Islands, India, Kiribati, Kyrgyz Republic,
Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri-Lanka, Timor-Leste, Tuvalu, Uzbekistan
and Vanuatu.
“UNICEF thanks the ADB for its partnership and timely response to the COVID-19
crisis. We applaud the actions already taken by governments and this support
will further strengthen a country’s capacity to save the lives of its people,”
said Karin Hulshof, UNICEF Regional Director, East Asia and Pacific. “This
crisis has affected the most vulnerable disproportionately. Countries and
communities must continue to work together, so that we can protect children and
their families.”
While UNICEF and its partners support the immediate response, it is worth
remembering that the impact of COVID-19 on children will last well after the
last case of transmission, and risks of exploitation and abuse, economic
hardships as well as family separation, are likely to increase.
UNICEF is working with governments across the three regions to help prevent the
spread of the virus among communities by providing technical expertise,
procuring vital medical supplies, and developing effective public health
messaging to reach people with life-saving information.
