Post-Covid Economic Recovery Learning Series

Dismantling power asymmetries in the global financial infrastructure: Pathways towards a democratic and economically just recovery

SCIS invites you to the Dismantling power asymmetries in the global financial infrastructure: Pathways towards a democratic and economically just recovery webinar on 20 April, 14:00-15:30 (SAST). 

This is the first of three learning sessions in the Post-Covid Economic Recovery Learning Series. The overarching objective of this learning series is to influence the international development policy discourse based on the experiences of economies and countries in the global South and to dismantle narratives that have historically deprived communities of the necessary resources for addressing the multiple social and economic challenges that they face. 

The learning series will attempt to answer some of the following questions:

1. How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the social and economic landscape of countries in the global South (e.g. economic growth, public finance, poverty and inequality, gender equality, and employment)?
2. What are the gaps between what is being discussed at the international level and the reality of what communities are experiencing on the ground?
3. What policies are required for protecting livelihoods and building resilient economies in a post-Covid-19 economic recovery?

The Post-Covid Economic Recovery Learning Series is a collaboration of the Ford Foundation Plus Fund Initiative for Economic and the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies.
