Staff are available on email and phone during normal business hours. This page serves as a one-stop repository for our past and forthcoming research, analysis, and commentary on the COVID-19. Thank you for your continued interest in CGD’s work. As new cases continue to emerge, what will be the lasting impact of the novel coronavirus? At CGD, we are examining the toll that the spread of COVID-19 is taking on global development—people, systems, and economies—and how governments and international organizations can best respond. Our experts are also assessing global pandemic preparedness and financing, and in particular how the outbreak will and is affecting low- and middle-income countries—including in Africa—with already-stretched health systems. Drawing upon our work on strengthening health systems and lessons from the 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, we’ve put together thinking and options on how global institutions and countries can better prepare for pandemic threats today and in the future.
