The global pandemic brought on by the novel coronavirus has fundamentally transformed peacebuilding efforts, development initiatives and humanitarian response. This podcast episode, featuring Stephen Gray, Co-Founder and Director of Adapt, and Francis Zau Tu, Adapt's Programme Manager in Myanmar, discusses COVID-19’s implications for peacebuilding writ large and looks at Adapt’s work in Myanmar to understand how the pandemic has affected conflict dynamics and impacted peacebuilding. We explore new opportunities to advance peace and highlight some of the enabling factors that can allow organisations to build a culture of adaptation and learning in order to better serve communities in dynamic contexts.
