  In March 2020 Youth Co:Lab - a project co-led by UNDP and Citi Foundation - conducted regional research to assess how the COVID-19 outbreak was impacting youth-led enterprises in Asia-Pacific and how they were responding. Now, as we approach the one year anniversary of the declaration of the pandemic, Youth Co:Lab has launched a COVID-19 #OneYearOn survey to assess: how young entrepreneurs (18-35) in Asia-Pacific have been impacted over the past year, the strategies and solutions they have developed, and their outlook for recovery and beyond. The survey is being translated in select countries, including China. The Online Volunteer will contribute to ongoing efforts to assess the impacts of COVID-19 on youth-led enterprises, identify means to support youth-led enterprises to recover, and to showcase youth-led response and recovery solutions that support efforts to build forward better. The Online Volunteer will support efforts to foster a more inclusive recovery from COVID-19.
