2021 Snapshots of Capacity Development Activities
This report provides a snapshot of the capacity development activities undertaken by UN DESA’s Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) in 2021. During 2021 DPIDG:
EROPA's online roundtable discussion on “Recalibrating Inclusive Health and Economic Recovery in Southeast Asia: From Zero-COVID-19 to Living with COVID-19”
Almost two years into the pandemic, many countries in Asia began to rethink and recalibrate their pandemic management strategies. Some have been generally successful in keeping COVID-19 at bay, while others have been forced into severe mobility restrictions and lockdowns several times already to prevent their health systems from being overwhelmed. All these countries face growing economic pressure due to the combined effects on consumption and investment of the chilling effect of COVID-19 and often severe mobility restrictions and economies locked down.
