Between 23 March – 8 April, WIEGO conducted a rapid assessment to understand how COVID-19 and the related public health measures are impacting informal workers in Africa, Asia and Latin America. This assessment contains what WIEGO learned.
The rapid assessment included interviews with 21 national or local member-based organizations (MBOs), five regional and global networks of informal workers organizations, as well as a research institute and an NGO that work closely with informal workers. The organizations interviewed represent mainly domestic workers, home-based workers, street vendors and market traders, and waste pickers.
