Governance Toolkit for Managing Large-Scale Crises and Regulatory Compliance

otherTestedTRL 5Thin data (2/5)

Imagine trying to coordinate a fire drill across 31 different buildings, each with its own set of rules and bosses. This work looks at how different levels of government—from local mayors to international health agencies—clashed or cooperated during the pandemic. It creates a guidebook to help leaders make fast decisions without breaking the law or losing public trust.
