The UK has announced up to £744 million of aid funding to support the global efforts to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, including support to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and to the UN system to protect the most vulnerable.

Through the UN Supply Chain Taskforce, WHO is leading efforts to understand the availability, distribution and forecasting of crucial response commodities throughout the world. We are supporting these efforts to assess the levels of needs and preparedness across Iraq, including the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and working with multilateral partners including the UN, World Bank and International Monetary Fund to support the response.
