  • In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, Latin American and Caribbean countries have faced the challenge of countering the dramatic social effects of lockdowns and associated economic crises. Governments over the past half year have rushed to provide social assistance to vulnerable groups.

    What can we learn from these measures so far? How can recently created or expanded social protection measures be made sustainable, and what additional measures are needed for an inclusive recovery? What could an agenda of cooperation for social cohesion between Europe and Latin America and the Caribbean look like as we move towards year two of the pandemic? Join us for a dialogue between scholars and practitioners.
