The event will be webcast and the audience will be able to ask questions to speakers online by using the hashtag #IFADBridge.

The magnitude and breadth of COVID-19 impacts across the world are colossal. We already know that nations will experience economic downturns, with the IMF predicting a contraction in global growth in 2020.

Over the last few months, we have seen an endless number of projections, simulations and predictions about the evolution of COVID-19.

Virologists, scientists, economists have tried to use models to infer the implications of the pandemic.
In the meantime, policy-makers are busy making quick decisions, actions and fund allocations.
These two online talks on bridging research and policy responses to COVID-19 bring together academics and policy-makers to synthetize responses on the most relevant topics for the Rome-based food and agriculture Agencies: the future of the value chain, food security, women, youth and vulnerable groups in the post-coronavirus era.
