About the Webinar Series:

The Social protection responses to COVID-19 Webinar Series will explore the role of social protection in responding to the pandemic, as health care systems are becoming increasingly under pressure, economies are experiencing significant slow-downs - imposing major risks to the informal sector – and governments are implementing lockdown measures, closing international borders and advising their population to stay home.

Social protection experts will have an open space to discuss how countries around the world are reacting to the COVID-19 crisis through social protection actions, by exploring different experiences and addressing key issues.

Webinars will take place every Tuesday, at 9am (GMT-4)*,  starting from the 31^st of March. The duration of the webinar is usually one hour and a half (1h30min).  *The time  (and day of the week) of the webinar might change depending on participants availability, as well as, area/region of focus.
