WEBINAR: Policy Transparency Challenges (and Implications) of Government Responses to COVID-19

Governments around the world are taking historic measures to flatten epidemiological and recession curves in the face of the novel coronavirus pandemic. With no modern experience to manage a public health crisis of this magnitude, policy is being developed in real time in an environment of radical uncertainty. With a vaccine still many months away, what role should policy transparency play in shaping domestic and global level decision making and communications? What are the implications for globalization, civil liberties, the role of the public sector and the way we work in a post pandemic world?
