This webinar, hosted by DCED (Donor Committee for Enterprise Development), looked at the challenges created by COVID-19 for business environment reform and the informal economy. Recognizing the impact COVID-19 had on the informal economy in developing economies, participants – including Marty Chen, International Coordinator Emeritus and Senior Advisor, WIEGO, and Lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School – explored the kinds of responses emerging to these challenges.

This was an interactive webinar in which a panel of experts and agency representatives described the work they were doing to support reforms in the informal economy. Webinar participants presented their own questions and comments.
