All information about COVID-19, prevention measures and response services must be provided in accessible formats. It is vital that water, sanitation and hygiene services and facilities are accessible; and that persons with disabilities face no discrimination in access to health care. Further, social protection systems must be responsive to the socio economic vulnerabilities of persons with disabilities and their households; and, in the context of school closures, we need to ensure that remote/distance learning platforms are inclusive and accessible.

To support the above measures, UNICEF has produced two guidance notes, both of which are available here, and is continuously working with partners to support inclusive programming.
