We are all affected by the global Covid-19 pandemic, and we are all part of the response to it.
The Sphere Handbook articulates the importance of community engagement and guides technical response to humanitarian crises. The link between these two is apparent; even in countries with strong healthcare systems, community engagement is key to ensuring the health response is a success.
– How can we uphold the right to life with dignity for all?
– How can we engage communities and encourage active participation?
– How can we build on the capacities, and meet the needs, of higher-risk groups, including older people and people with disabilities?
– How can medical response be appropriate, community-sensitive, and relevant to people’s needs?
– How can we avoid misinformation, stigmatisation and fear?
To discuss these questions and more, Sphere and Arbeiter Samariter-Bund (ASB) are pleased to present the following panel of health, hygiene and inclusion experts:

Eba Pasha is a public health in emergencies specialist and medical doctor with over 15 years’ experience working in humanitarian crises, health emergencies, health systems strengthening and coordination in fragile, conflict or low-income countries. She has technical expertise in minimum standards in humanitarian response, qualitative and quantitative research, monitoring and evaluation. Eba is one of the authors of the Health chapter of the 2018 Sphere Handbook, and drafted The Sphere standards and the Coronavirus response.
