Risk communication & Community Engagement
Geneva
UN-DESA is assisting Governments to monitor the pandem-ic, estimate its impacts and inform policies to mitigate it by using country-level macroeconomic models and National Statistical Systems with timely and reliable information. This includes the launch of a new UN COVID-19 Data Hub, as part of a broader initiative helping national statistical offices (NSO), to leverage modern technologies and data manage-ment practices. A website also provides guidance, actions, tools and best practices to ensure the operational continuity of data programmes by NSOs.
