Time: 14:00 to 16:00 CET

This session will provide an opportunity for local authorities to share their experiences on the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many local businesses are threatened with closure. The multiplier effect of such closures is manifold. The reduction of tax revenues and fees for local governments puts urban households in a difficult situation.

The following topics will be discussed:

• The role of cities in local economic development during COVID -19 and good practices
• Short and medium term actions and the way forward
• How can digitalisation be used to meet the challenges?

Speakers: 

• Dr. Daniel Okello Ayen, Director, Public Health and Environment, Kampala Capital City Authority, Uganda
• Lance Morrell, Managing Director, FEI Consulting, USA
• Martin Onyach-Olaa, Senior Urban Specialist, the World Bank, Kampala Office, Uganda

Moderation: Vani Moodley & Deepak Adhikary
