SOUTHERN PERSPECTIVES ON COVID-19
About the initiative
When the pandemic hit in 2020, Southern Voice members responded with timely analysis and recommendations. One year on, we are now completing a number of initiatives of our own, convening the expertise of hundreds of Global South scholars. On this page you will find the links to past and ongoing 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
Southern Voice’s think tank members published widely on COVID-19 since the onset of the pandemic. We have now compiled their valuable research on local solutions in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean. You will find analysis on the impact the crisis is having on those regions and on the UN 2030 Agenda. Download a range of articles, research papers and multimedia presentations.
