In these troubled and uncertain times, ICLEI South Asia is extending assistance to cities in the region in various ways to help tackle the pandemic, including through volunteer services and development of IEC material.

Additionally, 100 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits have been donated to the Siliguri Municipal Corporation in the state of West Bengal, India, as part of the CapaCITIES project, which is being supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. The ICLEI South Asia project team handed over the PPE kits to Mr. Asok N.
