Dear IMPRI Well-wisher,
Greetings from Team IMPRI!
We hope you are healthy and safe.
With the new Omicron variant of the Coronavirus setting off a new wave of infections, continued adherence to safety protocols in the coming months assumes paramount importance, as we hope for everyone's sustained health and wellbeing.
This week's #WebPolicyTalks delve into the empowerment of ULBs, and public policy drivers.
The newsletter, as always, will apprise you of these forthcoming events, IMPRI's recent publications, and videos of #WebPolicyTalks in case you missed them.
We hope to see you soon at one of our #WebPolicyTalks!
Wishing you the best for the week ahead,
Anshula Mehta, Senior Assistant Director, IMPRI
