COVID-19 has impacted on the way people are active, access to facilities, programmes and services. COVID-19 has revealed and heightened the importance of physical activity for mental and physical health for everyone, however it has also exacerbated inequalities in health, and in physical activity opportunities. 

This webinar “Hidden in plain sight: realizing the full potential of civil society” is the fourth of a series of eight reINVENT and reBUILD webinars hosted by WHO on the overarching theme of “Working together for a stronger and fairer physical activity and sport system for all”.
