Save the Children's COVID-19 Program Framework and Guidance

This framework represents Save the Children's planning assumptions and priority areas for implementation over four phases of programming: Preparedness, Initial Response, Large-Scale Response, and Recovery. Each phase is defined by the specific scenario in-country (and in-community) and the overall objectives by Phase. This framework is not a comprehensive program document, rather is a higher-level guidance that allows Save the Children staff to locate which Phase their country/community are in and to begin implementation of key actions and activities by sector. There will  be accompanying  guidance for each sector that will outline detailed program components, and all sectors will align with international, national standards and best practice to-date.
