Rights of Vulnerable Families and Children of India under COVID-19: Implications for effective response and mitigation strategies

Through a Rapid Needs Assessment, Save the Children undertook the task to understand, as a result of COVID-19, the most important challenges at the household level, various distress measures for meeting family needs, effects on children’s education, key concerns with regard to children, and other needs of the population.

The results of the assessment are intended to help Save the Children in India develop, review, and align its COVID-19 response strategy and programming in order to respond to and support children with their specific needs.
