Project Fostering multi-stakeholder outreach to review and realize policy action in context of COVID-19 and beyond (2021-2022)

 

In partnership with the Commonwealth Foundation, our project focused on reviewing the current programs and policies put in place to combat Covid-19, so as to recommend plans, programs and offer policy reforms that highlights and addresses the needs of the most vulnerable communities.
