Session recordings available here
This thematic clinic provided an opportunity to ask - and answer - questions on how to think through options for financing social protection expansions in light of future shocks.
'Clinic' sessions were an opportunity for participants to ask practical, technical questions on various topics that have been very relevant to the COVID social protection response. These were either answered 'live' or via a subsequent written discussion forum. The sessions were staffed and moderated by designated 'resource people' on that topic, but answers were provided by peers as well.
