This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

Emergency Aid is a financial benefit for informal workers, individual microentrepreneurs (MEI), self-employed and unemployed, and its purpose is to apply emergency protection during the period of coping with the coronaVirus crisis - COVID 19.
The US $ 100 benefit will be paid for three months, for up to two people from the same family.
For families where the woman is solely responsible for household expenses, the amount paid monthly will be $ 200.00.
Who receives Bolsa Família can receive Emergency Aid, as long as it is more advantageous. During this period, Bolsa Família will be suspended.
People who were not in the Cadastro Único until 03/20, but who are entitled to assistance can register on the auxilio.caixa.gov.br website or through the APP CAIXA | Emergency Aid.
