FLACSO

Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales

FLACSO has carried out over 320 initiatives related to COVID-19 since March 2020. These initiatives follow FLACSO’s mission to promote and strengthen development in Latin America through research. In total, FLACSO has published three books, 20 conversations with experts, 30 data uploads, three new courses, and hundreds of documents and online events relating to the pandemic.  These events consist of analyzing the impact of the outbreak on international relations, society, and Latin-American culture. The FLACSO system has organized a series of panel discussions focused on alternative development in response to COVID-19. The FLACSO governance has authorized annual budget reports and appointed institutional personnel to facilitate preparedness in the face of the pandemic. FLACSO continues to collaborate with other regional and international organizations such as the Organizations of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI) and the Corporación Andina de Fomento (CAF). 

The FLACSO website educates readers about the measures member countries are taking presently. FLACSO commits to posting regular updates on the development of the pandemic in the region in order to safeguard public health. Each FLACSO Academic Unit posts news of their specific country’s work, research, and projects dealing with COVID-19. FLACSO has also released clear basic protection measures against COVID-19 in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO) rules. While the organization has published extensive work relating to COVID-19, the Academic Units have also continued to monitor and analyze political and social activity in their countries beyond the COVID-19 crisis.
