The European Union set out plans for a robust and targeted response to support partner countries' efforts in tackling the coronavirus pandemic. Our ‘Team Europe' approach is aimed at saving lives by providing quick and targeted support to our partners to face this pandemic. The Union's collective action will focus on addressing the immediate health crisis and resulting humanitarian needs, strengthening partner countries' health, water and sanitation systems and their research and preparedness capacities to deal with the pandemic, as well as mitigating the socioeconomic impact.
