Register now: How governments respond to COVID-19

Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, ABIM (12/5/2020) – The coronavirus pandemic has tested local governments in their ability to respond to social and economic threats that have come at them at a fast pace.
While a national government broadly sets the response agenda, provincial and city governments have been required to implement testing models, work with health specialists, support business and ensure the most vulnerable are cared for. This cross conversation on what has been done and what needs to be done further will bring in the experiences so far of a city of five million and province of 48.6 million.

Joining us for this webinar are Sally Capp, the Lord Mayor of the City of Melbourne, and Ridwan Kamil, Governor of the Province of West Java. The AIC’s Helen Brown, Head of Communications and Outreach, will moderate the panel.
