From developing a responsive website portal that displays a map (integrated with Google GIS) and provides near real-time updates on the number and location of currently affected Covid-19 patients, to tackling the vulnerability of our current working force, professionals need to regularly up-skill and cross-skill to stay relevant in the job market; 350 young people collaborate to tackle the current challenges caused by the novel virus: Coronavirus (COVID-2019).

Under the auspices of the UNLEASH Innovation Lab for the SDGs, this initiative dubbed Unleash Global COVID-19 Hack, was a 2-day global digital hackathon designed to collectively address some of the challenges humanity is facing due to the spread and effect of COVID-19 to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In the Africa/Europe sub-group, the hack focused on various issues like mental health, communication-related problems, resources and equipment for medical and health workers. Participants went through intensive innovation process using slack, zoom and miro to actively share ideas and were facilitated by UNLEASH alumni.
