Recommendations and Reflections
摘要
Although the pandemic itself is no longer considered a global threat, the aftermath for the African continent unequivocally is. While some of the studies suggested ways to alleviate part of the harmful remnants of COVID-19, lessons that can be drawn are predominantly warnings for future disruptive changes and crises. During COVID-19, the vision of “building back better” was heard loudly within and outside of the development realm. Yet getting back to business as usual quickly overshadowed this aspiration. This chapter provides reflections and recommendations for future shocks and crises such as the pandemic.
