COVID-19 Coordination Report – Consultation Findings and Case Studies

This resource focuses on the coordination and leadership structures that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic response. The report explores how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in humanitarian settings engaged with these structures. It presents findings from a desk review of existing literature on COVID-19 coordination mechanisms and 46 semi-structured interviews. These interviews were conducted with policymakers, practitioners, and individuals with experience working with COVID-19 coordination structures. The report highlights key themes such as opportunities for effective NGO engagement, the role of coordination mechanisms in advocating for community-centered response approaches, and considerations for future outbreak preparedness. Finally, it provides case studies of Indonesia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, illustrating the successes and challenges encountered in coordinating COVID-19 response efforts.
