SOUTHERN PERSPECTIVES ON COVID-19
When the pandemic hit in 2020, Southern Voice members responded with timely analysis and recommendations. One year on, we are completing a number of initiatives of our own, convening the expertise of hundreds of Global South scholars. On this page you will find links to current Southern Voice COVID-19 research. The aim is to build a joint post-pandemic vision through context-sensitive responses.
COVID-19 IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH
A digital knowledge hub

Southern Voice’s COVID-19 Digital Knowledge Hub compiles ongoing and new research on the pandemic from the network’s 51 think tanks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It is an interactive space with analysis on the impact the crisis is having on those regions and on the UN 2030 Agenda. Browse through a range of articles, research papers and multimedia presentations, or contact the scholars directly through the expert database.
