CID COVID-19 Response & Resource Page
The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the lives of people around the world, but those in developing countries are likely to suffer the most in the face of this global crisis. At the Center for International Development (CID@Harvard), we see this as a call to action. We are responding quickly in the following ways to implement solutions: we are collecting funding information; we are connecting researchers, foundations, and policymakers to channel our resources; and we are sharing the most up-to-date work of our experts to ensure it is reaching those who need it most.

CID Director Asim I. Khwaja coauthors a multidisciplinary proposal with a team of experts, experienced researchers and practitioners to respond to COVID-19. Elements of the proposal are being tested in various places – including Pakistan – where several members of the team have been actively supporting the state’s response efforts at national and sub-national levels.
