Despite these practical challenges, above and beyond those faced by all researchers producing rapid reviews during this period, 10 our networks continue to generate evidence syntheses to support our governments and strengthen their capacities and resilience. We need action from individuals, organisations, govern ments, and donors to enable and sustain the generation and use of evidence synthesis in LMICs if we are to tackle COVID-19 globally.	./cache/cord-339645-0babe90b.txt	./txt/cord-339645-0babe90b.txt
