Importance: High

Dear both,

FYI, from MOF, we received the attached request for WB support. The first request is directly related to emergency health response and immediate social protection measures. We expect to process the request in very expedited way (within
weeks, if not days). We will be reaching out to you shortly on key areas of support, for background information and fast implementation arrangements. In the meantime, please think about key areas in health and social protection requiring immediate attention
to respond to COVID-19 and who among your team can work with the Bank team round the clock.

Best regards, Lire

Dear Lire,

I hope this e-mail finds you well and healthy.  I would like to thank you for the provided information.  It’s very helpful to see how other countries are responding to existing emergency and learn on their best
practices in social protection.

Kind regards,

Dear both,

Hope all is well and you are safe and healthy.  I wanted to share with a real-time reviews of social protection responses to COVID by countries.  It shows how countries are responding to the pandemic by documenting
real-time actions in a key area of response – that is, social protection measures planned or implemented by governments.  The review is organized interventions by social assistance, social insurance and labor market programs. In most cases, data sources include
official information published in government websites, while in many cases it reports information from global and national news outlets. Please note that this update remains preliminary and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Please feel free to share with your minister and other colleagues.

Best regards, Lire
