Additionally, experts from international organizations in both regions, including the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO), and the United Nations (ECLAC, ESCAP), will participate to discuss topics such as "The Socio-Economic Impact of COVID-19, Recovery Prospects, and Long-Term Solutions."
