Social science missing from Asia's COVID-19 response

Policy-makers should engage more closely with social scientists to understand the socio-economic, cultural and political contexts behind the behaviours we need to change in response to global crises. A region-wide assessment has found that opportunities were missed to involve social scientists in national COVID-19 response strategies in Southern and Southeast Asia. This podcast is based on a 11 country report, “The Role of Social Sciences in COVID-19 responses in Asia”, led by the Global Development Network and the Asia Research Centre at Universitas Indonesia, with support from the International Development Research Centre, Canada. Find out more about this podcast and people featured
