Deployable & Remote Services and Mechanisms during the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has limited OCHA’s ability to deploy its usual global, centrally managed tools and services in support of field operations in the case of a sudden-onset disaster or deterioration in current humanitarian operations.
Whilst OCHA currently maintains some deployment capacity through its different rapid response networks, such as UNDAC, INSARAG, the environmental emergencies roster, through operational partners and the Standby Partnerships Programme, this could change at short notice. Remote support services remain largely unaffected, and in fact, may be the default option for providing support given the multiple limitations in movement both within countries but more so regionally and internationally.
