Implications of coronavirus on financing for sustainable development
DI Executive Director Harpinder Collacott summarises the possible impacts of the coronavirus pandemic on global development - including projections for extreme poverty, the future of different forms of financing, and the countries likely to be most impacted.
This presentation was originally given as part of the webinar Financing for Sustainable Development: ODA in the Context of Covid-19. This session was jointly hosted by DI, Oxfam and the UN Foundation, and Harpinder's presentation that would later be published as the briefing Covid-19 and financing projections for developing countries.
