The coronavirus pandemic has a massive impact on the health, social, and economic status of countries on a global scale. In the Philippines, it continues to affect thousands of Filipinos and disrupt the economy. The pandemic has also unmasked weaknesses in governance systems and structures. To be able to help the country get back on track and prepare for future risks, the government has to embrace much-needed reforms and innovations. Lessons can be drawn from both domestic and international experiences in mitigating the effects of the pandemic and in dealing with similar crises. It is also important for the government to pursue a ‘whole-of-society’ approach to be able to move forward from this crisis. Browse through the slides to know more about institutional reforms and innovation, which are among the topics featured in this year’s Development Policy Research Month (DPRM) celebration.
