UNICEF WELCOMES ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM THE ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK FOR COVID-19

30 June 2020
UNICEF/UNI340730/Prasad Ngakhusi

BANGKOK, 30 June 2020: UNICEF welcomes an additional US$13.2 million grant from
the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to provide urgent medical supplies in 18
countries in South Asia and East Asia and Pacific to support governments in the
ongoing response to COVID-19.  

UNICEF has been working with governments to help prevent the spread of the virus
among communities. This grant is on top of the US$3.5 million provided in March
2020 bringing ADB’s total COVID-19 support to UNICEF to US$16.7 million. It will
be used to buy medical supplies and personal protective equipment in Bhutan,
Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji,
Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga,
Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Timor Leste. 

“We thank ADB for its continued and strengthened partnership with UNICEF to
respond to the COVID-19 crisis,” said Karin Hulshof, UNICEF Regional Director,
East Asia and Pacific. “The virus is a threat to people everywhere. Together
with partners like ADB, we can make sure children and families recover, rebound
and reimagine for a stronger future. COVID-19 should not become a lasting crisis
for children and the most vulnerable populations.”

The collaboration between ADB and UNICEF links to COVID-19 pandemic response
plans in all partner countries, adding value in policy, strategy, design and
implementation in the immediate and long-term.

“UNICEF is a trusted partner of ADB and we have been very happy to work in
tandem to provide much-needed assistance to our developing member countries to
combat the COVID-19 pandemic," said ADB Director General of Sustainable
Development and Climate Change Department Woochong Um.

"The assistance for these critical emergency medical supplies comes from ADB's
overall package of $20 billion to help our members deal with the pandemic.
Together with partners such as UNICEF, ADB is working to mitigate the health,
economic, and social impact of this crisis in Asia and the Pacific."

UNICEF, ADB, together with governments, civil society and other development
partners, strengthen the country capacity with technical support for both
hardware (provision of essential supplies and equipment) and development
components in the areas of health, water, sanitation, hygiene, and social
protection to enable frontline workers and communities to protect themselves
against COVID-19.

Joint efforts highlighted in this partnership will provide a coordinated
effective response to address COVID-19 challenges and help reimagine a better
future for children and their families. We look forward to broadening our
engagement with ADB, deepening public-private partnerships, including use of
digital technology, to combat COVID-19 and beyond.
