K4D Evidence Summaries Informing Global COVID-19 Pandemic Response
Abstract
The global COVID-19 pandemic presented a context of rapidly changing and complex development
challenges. Recognising an immediate need for timely support in making sense of a proliferation of
pandemic-related resources, the team at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)
(formerly the Department for International Development) commissioned the K4D Programme to
provide regular summaries of the evidence being generated world-wide on the COVID-19 pandemic.
As a rapid response research service, K4D was able to capture and collate relevant evolving evidence
across a range of themes on a weekly, then daily, basis. Evidence indicates these summaries have
served as a key input in delivering an evidence-based response to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
