Governments are today faced with an unprecedented public health emergency that has forced them to close borders and lock down cities and communities. But as serious as the health crisis is, the pandemic is also a socio-economic crisis, with impacts that may be longer term. These impacts can include increased corruption risks, and strategies are needed to mitigate the socio-economic impacts of the pandemic in such a way as to help prevent corruption. TNRC convened a Virtual Panel on "The COVID-19 pandemic, corruption, and the socio-economic impacts on local communities" on December 14, 2020 to examine some of these impacts and mitigating strategies.
