The pandemic has affected countries in<br \/>every region, making this a truly global situation where every country must respond. UN-Habitat<br \/>has a clear added value in supporting national and local authorities as they take up this challenge. The<br \/>pandemic will hit the world\u2019s most vulnerable people the hardest\u2014many of them living in<br \/>informal settlements and slums.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Slums are densely populated, with overcrowded public transport systems, little or no waste management, an absence of basic services and poor housing. These informal settlements are characterized by a lack of durable housing (permanent structures that withstand extreme climate conditions); lack of access to safe water at affordable prices and within a reasonable distance and in sufficient amounts; and lack of access to adequate sanitation provisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Recommended measures to prevent COVID-19 transmission such as physical distancing is often<br \/>impossible in these areas, and health facilities are minimal. \u201cOther preventative measures are<br \/>equally challenging. Only a third of households in Africa have access to basic hand washing facilities<br \/>and in many informal settlements piped water is a luxury. And as a large majority of the workforce is<br \/>informally employed, and most cannot work from home, they still need to use public transport and<br \/>cannot follow social distancing.<\/p>\n<p>As youth make up a significant portion of the global population, they will be one of the hardest hit by this pandemic but they will also be the backbone of recovery in communities. Therefore, policy responses need to include youth community groups and recognise youth in decision making to ensure positive change.
