    COVID 19 RESPONSE BY SOPPECOM Status Report: Two 6 June, 2020 Society for Promoting Partipative Ecosystem Management (SOPPECOM), Pune Email: [email protected]; Website: https://www.soppecom.org Introduction COVID 19 pandemic and the extended lockdowns has left millions of people especially the poorer sections of the society, including the migrant labourers to face some extremely difficult situations. The unplanned and improperly executed lockdowns are leading to loss of life and livelihoods. There are a number of organizations and institutions that are doing COVID 19 relief work to help out different communities in coping up with the current difficult times. SOPPECOM also through its COVID19 response programme has been doing relief work for the past couple of months. Our COVID 19 response has been spaced out in the three phases. In Phase one we provided dry ration and essentials like soap and detergents to the most needy and vulnerable communities. In Phase Two, we would provide some minimum support to most needy families to buy seeds and other inputs so that they can partially meet the costs of the land preparation for the Kharif sowing in time. Phase Three, is a long term engagement and effort would be to work with social activists in the area of awareness building and also improving their capacities to engage with such incidents/events/disasters in the future. Phase One began in the first week of April. The first status report was published and circulated in the last week of April (http://www.soppecom.org/pdf/Status-report-COVID19-response-by-SOPPECOM- 25April2020.pdf).
