COVID-19 Response

SPII is active in a number of civil society coalitions and groups working on various aspects of the COVID-19 context and demanding a just response.

COVID-19 Response

SPII’s Covid response work includes involvement with the C19 People’s Coalition through various working groups. We play an active role in Nedlac’s Community Constituency and the civil society response to Covid-19 through the Community Constituency Covid-19 Front. We have also worked with CIVICUS as well as ​the Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency (GIFT).
