UN Volunteer helping Kenya battle the global pandemic

The COVID-19 Response Programme aims to mitigate the spread and impact of COVID-19 by increasing the healthcare capacity system, building the resilience of vulnerable populations, bolstering social protections, and advocating for women's rights as part of the UN Joint Devolution Programme. Meet Caroline Njoki Kabaki, who served as a Laboratory Technologist in Kenya as part of the programme.

The COVID-19 Response Programme is jointly implemented by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) and UN Women. The programme is supported by the governments of Finland, Italy and Sweden with the consent to remobilize USD 3.1 million to respond to the pandemic in Kenya.
