Online workshop on “Governments' Crisis Communications During the Pandemic”

COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the greatest challenges faced by governments around the world. It vividly demonstrated the key role of public administration in responding to the crisis and mitigating its consequences.
In response to the challenges posed by the pandemic, countries have been forced to make fundamental changes in the public and private sectors. Thus, circumstances have shifted us to a new reality, where innovative communication has become important in people's lives, and, accordingly, this requires a transformation of goals and values in all areas. 
 
The pandemic has showed the significance of government communications and news management as one of the essential elements of enhancing public trust and crisis management.
