The spread of Covid-19, and the measures taken by authorities to contain it, meant an abrupt end to our ways of working. We shifted to internet and mobile phone connectedness, strengthened responsibilities of our partner organisations, and increased South-South communications directly between our partners, including cross-country exchange of experiences.

In this Briefing Note we provide recommendations, and share the lessons learned (i.e. pros and cons of going virtual, power shift due to the Covid-19 crisis, empowering through cross-country learning).
