Since late 2020, the CGIAR system has been actively working with national governments of five countries (Ethiopia, Malawi, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Myanmar) to respond to the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought upon the food and agricultural systems and livelihoods of communities who depend on agriculture.

This live webinar will provide an overview of what CGIAR and partners have achieved in the five focus countries of the CGIAR COVID-19 Hub (Bangladesh, Myanmar, Ethiopia, Malawi and Nigeria). They will also draw important lessons from this innovative experience for future CGIAR endeavours – as ‘OneCGIAR’.

The webinar will consist of:
· A series of ‘rapid fire’ presentations about the results of country teams’ support to the national response to the pandemic
· A brief talk show with country partners, to review the experience, results and lessons, inviting questions from the audience

The webinar will feature the following CGIAR-19 COVID Hub speakers:
· Dr. Kumwenda Wells (Project Coordinator) and Charles Chinkuntha – Chief economist. Department of Agriculture Planning Services, Malawi.
· Dr. Zubairu Abdullahi (Director, Planning and Policy Coordination-Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Nigeria.
· Dr. Amjath Babu (Agricultural Economist (Modelling and Targeting), Bangladesh.
· Dr. Karta Kalsa (Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research – EIAR), Ethiopia.
· Dr. Khin Maung Soe, Myanmar.

The webinar will be closed by John McDermott, Director of the CGIAR Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) and overall coordinator of the CGIAR COVID-19 Hub.
