Webinar serie

Voices from the Ground

LMDF presents a series of interviews on the impact of COVID-19 in the countries where we operate. The pandemic has certainly changed the way we live here in Luxembourg, but what is happening in countries where poverty rates are higher and where the informal economy dominates? This series of interviews examines how micro-entrepreneurs are coping in this changing world.

Next webinar soon, on Brasil.
