We invite you to register for the webinar 'Economic inclusion and Covid-19 response' to occur on June 11 at 08:30EDT/GMT-4. Please, click here to register.

This session will be simultaneously translated from English to Spanish.

The ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic is not a great equalizer – the poor and vulnerable are far worse hit. The third webinar in PEI's economic inclusion series will explore how economic inclusion programs can help the extreme poor and vulnerable increase incomes, build assets and grow their resilience in the face of the current pandemic, and its economic aftershocks. 

This interactive webinar will discuss some unfolding adaptations and early priorities in economic inclusion programs in response to COVID-19. The session will feature first-hand country experiences from Bangladesh, Ethiopia and Panama. 

Panellists:

Puja Vasudeva Dutta, Partnership for Economic Inclusion, World Bank

Gebre-Meskel Challa Motalo, Government of Ethiopia

Lauren Whitehead, BRAC USA

Virginia Barreiro, Government of Panama

Onelia Peralta, Government of Panama

Moderator:
