Agriculture & Livelihoods: The Global Economic Cost of COVID-19
Show Notes

Join us with Willy Foote, Founder and CEO of Root Capital, and Raj Panjabi, Founder and CEO of Last Mile Health, for a conversation on the economic impact of COVID-19 in low- and middle-income countries. Across the world, preserving livelihoods must coexist alongside the global health response, where many communities face seemingly impossible choices.

The learnings will be anchored specifically in Last Mile Health’s key learnings from the successful Ebola health response in West Africa, and in the context of Root’s Capital’s COVID rapid response strategy to grow agricultural businesses. In this session we will ask, how might we think about multi-sector and multi-stakeholder collaboration to help mitigate both the health and economic fallout from COVID-19?
