Corona: World Bank & University Professor

28-29 May 2020

Early in the morning, Queen Mathilde had a digital conversation with VUB professor Elke Van Hoof on the social and psychological consequences of the corona pandemic and the confinement.

A day earlier the World Bank's vice president Annette Dixon had had a video conference with Queen Mathilde on the World Bank's COVID-19 response. They had discussed how to best protect people in terms of access to services, learning outcomes, gender, mental health, and vulnerable populations.

Mathilde is a member of the informal group of global leaders who support the World Bank's Human Capital Agenda.
