Economic inclusion programs for the poorest show strong potential as part of integrated policy responses focused on containing the pandemic, ensuring food security, and supporting medium-term recovery. This note considers initial adaptations and early priorities in economic inclusion programs to support medium-and longer-term recovery efforts. The note is intended to be a resource for policy makers and practitioners faced with the dual challenge of adapting existing programs in response to a pandemic and ensuring the readiness of existing or new programs as part of medium-and longer-term recovery efforts. The note is devised as the first in a series of thematic briefs.
