AFEW International presents its annual report 2020 “Solidarity in the time of three pandemics”.
2020 was the year that will go down in history as the year in which a novel coronavirus brought the world to a standstill. COVID-19 has changed our lives and everyday reality on multiple levels, especially hitting those most vulnerable.
For the EECA region, COVID-19 brought a third pandemic to the two major ones we were already dealing with – HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis. The AFEW Partnership and the AFEW International teams did a great job in reorganising activities planned for 2020 from live to virtual events; insetting up a structure to meet COVID-19 related needs; and in adapting to modus of working from home. We improved our skills in organising virtual meetings, trainings and webinars; learned how to stay in touch with each other virtually and tried to stay healthy. We never stopped working, we adjusted our programmes where we could, re-strategized and re-directed resources to the most urgent, emergency needs arising in connection with COVID-19 restrictions.
Please read the Annual Report 2020 to learn about the highlights and impact we made in 2020.
