Micro-learning course about the impact of COVID-19 in Yemen
During these exceptional times, it can be difficult to stay on top of developments in fragile countries in the MENA region, while it remains crucial to be well informed and to plan for sustainable and necessary interventions. With this in mind, the Greater Middle East Platform -an expert network from the Netherlands with excellent connections to the region- organizes a micro-course on the specific situation in various countries during the pandemic.
Yemen faces two battles, the prolonged armed conflict and the recent spread of the coronavirus. Facing these two simultaneously seems like a mission impossible, the battle against the virus itself is overwhelming and threatens a nation that is already struggling with limited resources and instability.
