Supply chain disruptions due to COVID-19 are twin threats, both to lives and livelihoods. The Center for Global Development has focused some of its past discussions on COVID-19 and medical supply chains.
Supply chain disruptions are also aggravating to the economic effects of the crisis. Companies must ensure the safety of workers in their extended supply chain, support the financial viability of their suppliers, work with constrained cargo networks while building systems to be ready for future supply-chain shocks like this pandemic. And all of this in an environment where global trade and global supply chains are under threat from the ideology of supply chain autarky. In this event, the Center for Global Development will discuss how this is impacting businesses, global trade, and livelihoods, globally.
