The Role of International Community in The Management of Covid-19: The Lessons, Impact and Crime analysis

A few weeks into the year 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic radically altered the nature of social interactions and economic activity in all regions across the globe. By the first week of April 2020, 3.9 billion people – more than half the worldwide population – were under some form of lockdown. Since the inception of the COVID-19 pandemic, the IMF increased admittance to emergency funding amenities and delivered about $11 billion in emergency funding to a plethora of African countries including Ghana. This was to salvage the economic crisis that these countries were facing. However, this helped only temporarily and thus, people living in poverty, especially in Ghana started becoming apprehensive. In essence, this study looks at the role of the international community in the management of covid-19 in Ghana. It also briefly examines the effect of the pandemic on property crime. The research is supported by various schorlarly perspectives and a thorough examination of practical and theoretical knowledge in order to contribute to the existing body of literature. The observational research method was used in this reading, and empirical statistics was gathered from public and private sector authorities. The work was qualitatively infused and relied on rudimentary statistics (frequency and percentages). The data was gathered from both primary and secondary sources. The study found that more males were involved in the fight against the pandemic, and the lockdown was managed well. It also established that a global central database was used in creating awareness of the pandemic and that despite the support from the international community, deaths from the pandemic prevailed. Increased participation of and collaboration among stakeholders at the local authority was recommended.
