Successful regional responses to COVID-19 have confirmed the benefits of regional co-operation, with responses from platforms like the African Union, CARICOM in the Caribbean region, the European Union and CAREC in Central Asia. At the same time, the crisis has revealed the gaps and needs for stronger regional co-operation and integration, an obvious example being the need for better regional health co-operation. The pandemic has also underscored the importance of knowledge and information exchange in handling such a crisis. In this DEV Talk, our speakers delve into the following questions: can regional platforms help accelerate the achievement of global development objectives, bridging the gap between global and local development? And can regional co-operation facilitate the provision (and protection) of public goods?
