This brief, developed by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction, Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, highlights the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on certain groups of people and offers some key policy recommendations to ensure no one is left behind in COVID-19 prevention, response and recovery. The brief reflects the interventions and feedback of speakers and participants in the April 9, 2020, webinar on ‘Reducing COVID-19 vulnerability amongst displaced populations and migrants’, which was co-organized with the International Council of Voluntary Agencies and the International Organization for Migration.
