    First Arabic language webinar

In addition, TNI is happy to announce its first Arabic language webinar: 
Corona pandemic and the necessity of the struggle for food sovereignty 
<https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=ShcpFD&mc=Ip&s=Wh7Ofx&u=Stcs4&z=EhzZGu1&>. 
*On Tuesday, April 21st 17:00 Tunis time (18:00 Amsterdam time)*. 
Organised in cooperation with the North Africa Food Sovereignty Network. 
Please share with colleagues and partners who may be interested.

The Coronavirus pandemic is threatening to truly become a humanitarian 
disaster at a global scale and will have grave and disproportionate 
impacts on the vulnerable and marginalized groups, especially societies 
in countries of the Global South, including North Africa.

<https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=ShcpFD&mc=Ip&s=Wh7Ofx&u=Stcs4&z=EJeeItz&>

This global epidemic has exposed the scale of the catastrophe caused by 
decades of neoliberal policies in North African countries, from debt and 
privatizations to substantial austerity in the budgets dedicated to 
public services, including health. It also highlights the crucial role 
that small farmers, fisherfolks and agricultural workers play in 
producing our food, and this in the absence of adequate measures to 
protect them from the risk of infection. This health crisis has 
blatantly shown our economic and food dependence on global markets. In 
this webinar, we will try to situate this crisis in its global and 
regional contexts and relate it to the destructive impacts of an 
intensive capitalist agribusiness on humans and nature.

    Online survey: A Global Survey on Public Sector Capabilities and
    Responses to the Pandemic

<https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=Shcprm&mc=Ip&s=Wh7Ofx&u=Stcs4&z=EIBTh0i&>

Together with COMUNA, a team of economists and social researchers based 
in Montevideo, Uruguay, TNI has launched a survey 
<https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=Shcprm&mc=Ip&s=Wh7Ofx&u=Stcs4&z=EVhhVkl&> 
to map public sector responses to the pandemic. In many countries the 
Corona crisis has led to a strong new appreciation of the public sphere. 
The crisis shows how essential public health systems. Countries with 
strong teams of scientists based at universities and other public 
research bodies have been able to implement massive testing. Many of the 
economic contingency policies in response to the crisis are being 
implemented through state-owned enterprises, including public banks. And 
as the pandemic expands, basic public services such as water and 
sanitation networks, energy and telecommunications become even more 
essential. Mapping and bringing out the magnitude and value of the 
public sector will greatly contribute to finding the most appropriate 
alternatives to deal with the worsening recession and to better prepare 
for a future beyond the pandemic.
