HCP Global Forum – Investing in People and Building Resilience for Recovery - March 1-2, 2021 

Investing in people and building resilience for recovery is of paramount importance since the COVID-19 pandemic has compromised in 10 months the gains made in human capital over the last 10 years. This first Human Capital Project (HCP) Global Forum brought together governmental Focal Points from 80 HCP countries, along with senior ministers, development partners, and experts from the private sector and civil society. Together, they learned from one another, drove an agenda for change, shared expertise and innovations in service delivery, and showcased successful cross-sectoral approaches in human capital investments around the world.
