Social and Cultural Impacts of COVID - 19.

The covid-19 pandemic has impacted us in many ways. Biomedical issues are only a small part. In Africa there has been a much greater impact on the social and cultural lives of people in our communities. From an endogenous development perspective, we at Compas Africa are concerned that these other perspectives are being glossed over by policy makers with all attention on the biomedical perspectives only. Watch this powerful video post from Dr Yahaya Sekagya on his perspectives on the pandemic from the Uganda context. After the video please share your thoughts and perspectives with us.

· What has been your experience with social and cultural impact of the pandemic in your country/community?

· What actions/policies are in place to address them?

· What actions/policies do we need to see in the future to cushion such impacts?

· What can we do as members of Compas to address these concerns?
