TunisiaPromoting data-driven decision making in response to COVID-19 pandemic
This policy brief investigates the vital role of data-driven decision making in the response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
It cites regional examples from Lebanon and Tunisia on how governments and municipalities developed data dashboards and platforms and employed them in the pandemic response.
The policy brief concludes with an elaborate discussion on the implications and recommendations on how the current crisis can be turned into an opportunity for regional collaboration and promoting data-driven processes in the recovery from the pandemic.
The recent coronavirus crisis threatens the health, economies and societies of all countries. In Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries, the fight against the pandemic is even more complicated. Cooperation and EU-Med strategies in key sectors are needed. Therefore, the Center for Mediterranean Integration (CMI) and FEMISE join forces and launch their joint series of Policy Briefs called “COVID-19 MED BRIEFS” to pave the way for thematic analyses and policy relevant recommendations.
