Giving Compass' Take:

•  A foreign aid campaign called #EndCOVIDForAll, is calling on the Australian Government to commit new funds and provide vital support to vulnerable nations during the pandemic. 

• How can donors work with governments to offer global aid amid COVID-19?

• Read about the need for global response and coordination during the pandemic.

It's clear: the COVID-19 coronavirus crisis isn't going to end for anyone, until it ends for everyone.

This notion is the backbone of #EndCOVIDForAll, a foreign aid campaign supported by more than 170 international aid and development organisations, including Global Citizen, that calls on the Australian Government to commit new funds and provide vital support to nations less equipped to deal with the pandemic.

On Aug. 19, World Humanitarian Day, the campaign came to a head.

Australians across the country united to sign the #EndCOVIDForAll pledge and upload face-masked selfies to social media in a show of support.

Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, former politicians Natasha Stott Despoja and Mary Wooldridge and TV presenters Carrie Bickmore and Adam Liaw were among the famous faces to publicly join the campaign.

To mark the moment, Global Citizen Australia hosted a free virtual webinar to unpack Australia’s role in the COVID-19 crisis.

Australian action-takers and activists from across the country tuned-in to hear unique perspectives on some of the unseen consequences of the pandemic — including on the virus' widespread social and economic impact for both Australians and those in the Asia-Pacific.
