| Overview : On 30 January 2020, WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. In response, Lesotho has developed an Integrated National COVID-19 Plan and the National Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19. Under the leadership and coordination of the United Nations Resident Coordinator and in line with principles of ‘Delivering as One’, the UN Lesotho has established a response team, that is aligned to the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) pillars, to support the national response to COVID-19. By adopting the “One Health Approach” and “Whole-of-Society Approach”, the UN support will focus on strengthening national coordination and leadership, national emergency response, health systems to ensure inclusive and equitable access to facilities by all, particularly vulnerable segment of society. Interaction with organizations of persons with disabilities reveal that limited disability awareness and capacity among COVID19 coordinating and decision making bodies and the society at large has excluded persons with disabilities from participating and benefiting from COVID19 preventive and recovery processes on an equal basis with others. The United Nations Resident Coordinator’s Office is therefore looking for a firm/organization to promote inclusion of persons with disabilities in COVID19 processes through development and dissemination of disability issue papers and communication materials in accessible formats. Technical and financial proposals should be submitted to: ls.procurement@undp.org |
