Participant information and structure

Expected outcomes

It is hoped that the Conference will make short and long term recommendations on building back better in an inclusive and equitable manner. Specifically, the conference will contribute to ensuring that public services are strengthened, more especially now during recovery from the pandemic. This will be achieved through the discussion of the lessons learnt from COVID-19 and how we can build resilient public service systems. The Conference is expected to act as a platform for networking by different stakeholders working on different public services and ESCRs. The conference will have online platforms (Twitter & Facebook) where the public will be able to participate and give their views during the discussions. It will also be telecast live on a local TV station for at least two hours for each of the two days so as to reach out to a wider population.
