COVID-19 and Human Development: Assessing the Crisis, Envisioning the Recovery
The report highlights the importance of collective action—at the community, country and global levels. And the response to this crisis is showing how people around the world are responding collectively. The adoption of social distancing behaviour—which in some cases started before formal policies were put in place—could not possibly be fully enforced. It depended on the voluntary cooperation of billions of people. And it was done in response to a shared global risk that brought to the fore as a priority something other than having economies grow more rapidly. If we needed proof of concept that humanity can respond collectively to a shared global challenge, we are now living through it.

Important Scam warning
Recently several correspondences were circulated via WhatsApp, e-mail, text messages, falsely stating that they are issued by, or in association with United Nations Organizations or its officials in Mozambique. These scams often seek to obtain money or in many cases personal details from recipients.
Please note that the United Nations does not: Charge any application, processing, training, interviewing, testing or other fee in connection with the application or recruitment process; charge a fee at any stage of its procurement (supplier registration, bids registration etc.); request any information related to bank accounts or other private information; or offer prizes, awards, funds, certificates, etc. through telephone, e-mail, social media, mail or fax. Should you receive a solicitation for the payment of a fee, please disregard it. Furthermore, please note that emblems, logos, names and addresses are easily copied and reproduced. Therefore, you are advised to apply particular care when submitting personal information on the web or any other platform.
