The Working GrouP

The Middle East and Northern Africa Working Group was established in March 2020 as one of four TWGs to to enhance regional partner coordination on operational and strategic planning, monitoring and evaluation as well as the support to countries on particular aspects of the preparedness and response to COVID-19.

The role of the MENA Working group were revised in 2022 to encompass RCCE partner coordination for public health emergencies (PHE) with regional implications.

The Regional WG is co-led by WHO, UNICEF and IFRC with operational and technical support from the RCCE Collective Service for day to day management and follow up of TWG activities and actions.
