The invited experts were Ms, Rahnuma Salam Khan, development economist based in Bangladesh, Mr. Christian Viegelahn, labour economist at the Regional Office for Asia-Pacific of the ILO, and Ms. Amrita Saha, research fellow at the Institute of Development Studies.

This has made the event as resourceful as possible. The workshop participants discussed the dilemma facing the urban poor in the COVID-19 context, policy responses to COVID-19 for the resilient livelihoods of the urban poor, and the importance of assessing the potential impact of policies and measures for the urban poor.
