Slide presentation of the webinar held on 3 September 2020. Our panel of researchers and discussants shared with the audience how governments can leverage recent research and macroeconomic insights from India, Egypt, Malawi, Rwanda, and the Philippines to strengthen economic recovery programming in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The core focus of the webinar was on the integration of economic inclusion interventions like BRAC’s Graduation approach into the pandemic response and how they can be best utilised with social assistance to respond to current and emerging needs brought on by the crisis.
