The COVID-19 Global Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) is a joint effort by members of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC), including UN, other international organisations and NGOs with a humanitarian mandate, to analyse and respond to the direct public health and indirect immediate humanitarian consequences of the pandemic, particularly on people in countries already facing other crises. The Global HRP identifies the most affected and vulnerable population groups in priority countries, builds on a joint analysis of the immediate health and non-health needs of vulnerable populations, and offers a multi-partner multisectoral response to the pandemic.

The plan builds on three strategic priorities. They are aligned with the goals and objectives of existing plans and appeals issued by humanitarian organizations:

1. Contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and decrease morbidity and mortality
2. Decrease the deterioration of human assets and rights, social cohesion and livelihoods
3. Protect, assist and advocate for refugees, IDPs, migrants and host communities particularly vulnerable to the pandemic
