Covid-19, Displacement & Armed Conflict: Adapting to a Compounded Crisis

In conflict and post-conflict contexts, access to assistance and protection is constantly contested, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the internally displaced. With the additional challenge of COVID19, this access is even more complicated, challenging the ability of humanitarian actors and creating second effects for those fleeing. In this episode of the podcast, a follow-up conversation from a recent Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and ICRC webinar, we are joined by NRC’s Central and West Africa Regional Director Maureen Magee and ICRC’s Global Advisor on Internal Displacement Angela Cotroneo. We discuss the interplay between COVID19 and armed conflicts and the resulting double crisis, how humanitarian organizations are adapting to ensure they can continue to reach IDPs and durable solutions going forward.
