Dear IMPRI Well-Wisher,
Greetings from Team IMPRI!
We hope you are healthy and safe.
This week, our #WebPolicyTalks will explore the impact of COVID-19 on women owners of small businesses, and perspectives on creating gender-balanced workspaces, and then move towards the impact of the pandemic on India's nonprofit organisations, and views on achieving sustainable development, and many more.
As always, the newsletter will apprise you of these upcoming events, the week's publications, and videos of last week's #WebPolicyTalks in case you missed them. We hope to see you at an event soon!
Thank you for your continued support, encouragement and presence in our endeavours.
Wishing you well for the week ahead,
Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
