Interview with Minh Pham about my experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic.

My former UNDP colleague Minh Pham asked me to take part in a series of interviews about experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. A range of issues was discussed, including The Helen Clark Foundation’s work on loneliness and how women leaders have led on responses to the pandemic. Check out the interview in the post below:

Minh Pham introduces today's story, featuring his former colleague at the UN Helen Clark:

’Across the world, foundations and think tanks are scrambling together data to recognise the true impacts of lockdown on our mental health and to advise us on how we might mitigate further damage through Covid-19 waves to come.
One such think tank is the Helen Clark Foundation, headed by the former Prime Minister of New Zealand and ex-Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, where we worked as colleagues for 8 years.
In August, Helen kindly took time from her grueling schedule to share her personal experience of lockdown and discuss with us the topic of loneliness and her take on the handling of the pandemic by female leaders.
My sincere thanks to Helen for sharing her hopes, worries and insights. And my thanks to you, dear visitor, for your continued interest during these extraordinary times.
Best wishes,
Minh Pham’
