The impact of the covid-19 pandemic is having a disproportional effect in areas where housing conditions are precarious, such as in informal and unofficial settlements. The objectives of this webinar were to identify responses to the covid-19 crisis and gather inputs for public action in the precarious settlements of Central America as well as for social housing policy, with the aim being to promote structural change with regard to inequalities and segregation in cities.
This webinar was organised by the Secretariat for Central American Social Integration and the General Secretariat of SICA together with #EUROsociAL+ and had the support of the World Food Program. Its aim was to share experiences of using social protection to respond to the covid-19 emergency and its possible economic impacts on the most vulnerable population.
