Webinar on the economic downturn and poverty challenges
T he Corona Virus or Covid – 19 as it is referred to, and the resultant lockdown has impacted almost everyone in the world. Factories, shops, and large-gathering events were closed. Global commerce and trade are yet to fully recover. Educational institutions are shut. Poor populations are more vulnerable than before because of loss of access to essential goods and services, shortage in traded goods, price increases, and loss of livelihood.
