COVID-19 Water Security Risk Index
The overarching objective of this project was to create an index that understands and prioritises water investments to reduce a country's risk from COVID-19 impacts in the short, medium, and long term.
To do this, the team created a COVID-19 Water Security Risk Index, building upon the data collected for and the methods used in the ADB’s Asian Water Development Outlook approach. We defined COVID-19 risk as the risk of community wide impact caused by an outbreak of COVID-19, including elements of health, economics, and water security.
