COVID Policy Lessons for Future Crises: Social Learning Framework

The COVID global pandemic has had devastating impacts on public health, economic performance, poverty, and social stability. Many effects linked to COVID are in fact man-made. They are consequences of decisions by policy makers attempting to manage an unfolding crisis. Framed in this way, the COVID pandemic is not only a public health problem, but a broader public policy problem; requiring decisions on what should be done, when, by whom, to what ends, with what acceptable impacts. It is an example of a wicked (policy) problem. The application of the social learning framework, anchored in coordinated local experimentation, is presented here as a potentially useful approach to the management of such policy problems.
