Integrated response in Villa 20, Buenos Aires reduces impact of COVID-19 on lives and livelihoods
When COVID-19 reached Buenos Aires on 19 March 2020, the City Housing Institute (IVC), in collaboration with local grassroots organizations, built on prior upgrading of community infrastructure and strengthened resilience in the Villa 20 neighbourhood through a set of interventions to help meet the community’s food, health, and social and economic needs. The result has been a lower number of confirmed cases and deaths, and high level of community willingness to participate in social distancing, food distributions, and testing.
