A statement from the organizers reads:
As Corona Virus ravage the world, humanity is responding with resources being deployed to contain it. Experts agree that like every pandemic in world’s history, Corona Virus will leave in its wake a devastating economic outcome for humanity.
Also drawing from history, it’s not difficult to see that Africa will be the most hit. While everyone else is focused on measures to contain, it’s our considered view that some people can elevate the conversation to focus on dealing with the aftermath of Covid-19.
