Inventory of civil society initiatives to address the Covid-19 pandemic

### The mission of Covid-initiatives COVID-initiatives is a volunteer collective that aims to identify as many civil society initiatives as possible to address the Covid-19 pandemic. The collective is at the ore of the platform covid-initiatives.org which tries to show in the most readable way the many projects that emerge from citizen mobilisations. ### Description of the dataset This dataset identifies as many civil society initiatives as possible to address the Covid-19 pandemic. Two files are proposed: — **projects to combat shortage of equipment in hospitals** (Diy hydro-alcoholic solutions; masks in 3D printing; protective visors; prototypes of low-tech respirators etc.) — **citizens’ mutual assistance projects to deal with the crisis** (local groups, platforms, mutual assistance networks, etc.) **Attention**: Although the collective endeavours to highlight initiatives validated by the competent authorities, these data are made available without any guarantee or commitment. COVID-initiatives does not offer medical advice and its members cannot under any circumstances be held responsible for the sincerity of the referenced manufacturers, the quality of the materials they provide, nor in general for the use of the information disseminated here or on the site.
