Between 15 June and 6 July 2020, DAI and ECDPM held a series of webinars that brought together public and private practitioners to reflect on the immediate reaction of the development community to the challenges posed by COVID-19, and support the post-pandemic global response of the European Union, as per its recent Communication.

This webinar, which is the second of a series organised by DAI and ECDPM, brings together a panel of specialists to discuss this accelerated digitalisation of developing countries’ economies, and how can the EU support this transition to ensure no one is left behind.

Speakers:

Facilitation: Chloe Teevan, Policy officer, ECDPM

Krista Baptista, DAI’s Center for Digital Acceleration – How to support donors, governments and private partners integrate sustainable digital tools and approaches. Recent examples of COVID-19 responses that integrate the digital tool and how they make a difference.
