South Asia is home to a quarter of humanity and its policy response to COVID-19 matters for the world but there are markedly different views on the policy response in South Asia. The event will explore how governments in South Asia are tackling the pandemic and will focus specifically on Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. The panellists will discuss what can be learned from the South Asian experience and the challenges that lie ahead for the region.
