How can health & development NGOs best respond during COVID-19?
Practical insights and lessons from NGOs’ response to COVID-19 in LMICs

17th April 2020: GMT: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have always played a vital role in supporting communities through health, education and social challenges. With many development NGOs already programming in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs), how can they best support their civil society partners and communities as they grapple with the realities of COVID-19.

In this webinar, we invited guests from several NGOs currently implementing development and humanitarian programs in LMICs to share how they are practically responding and adapting to the pandemic, and also the challenges they are facing. We also heard from experts who have been involved in significant NGO responses to previous epidemics.
