Tuesday 22 June 2021 from 12:00-13:00 CET

The trust between governments and the people they serve has been threatened by the COVID-19 pandemic, with far-reaching decisions taken in a top-down manner. Yet the challenges encountered by those most affected by crisis measures were not always adequately heard. Civil society groups have stepped in and played a vital role to bridge the gap by providing support, advice and information to lay people and hard-to-reach population groups. But how have governments and civil society collaborated for pandemic response and recovery efforts? What can we learn from the COVID-19 experience for the future? Join us in this webinar to find out!
