THIALAND RCE SAKON NAKHON RCE Sakon Nakhon is located in Sakon Nakhon province which is in the north-eastern part of Thailand. In this COVID-19 situation, community people are facing many difficulties. For example, the lockdown of the country and provinces restrict the amount of people able to gather around in one area. This situation has caused many issues for finding resources. Therefore, an action that could be made to mitigate their inconvenience is having a place where the local people or others can support each other by sharing food or other necessities in the cupboard placed in the community’s area. Presented by: Dr Anchasa Pramuanjaroenkij RCEs OF THE AFRICA RCE MINNA WEEBIINAR 33 The 38 RCEs in Africa, despite the challenge of funding, stepped up their activities towards containment and prevention through community sensitization and support. Activities undertaken include community sensitization on the disease and its mode of transmission through house to house visits, production of sanitizers, hand wash and masks distributed to the public free of charge. COVID-19 has exposed the weakness in the economy of most African Countries, weak or non-existing infrastructure, ignorance or disbelief of the disease, poor data, clash of culture and lack of trust in the leadership. These combined to make COVID-19 in Africa a “Covert” pandemic: you can’t predict the depth of the impact. It has provided a good ground for NGOs like RCEs to support in containment and prevention. Presented by (on behalf of the region): Dr Abdul Husaini 26
