rights and responsibilities </a> </h3> <div class="lp__card_description "> <p>Joining dozens of countries reforming toward gender equality, Gabon has adopted a series of reforms to its civil and penal

Whether through higher earnings for migrants, access to labor for receiving countries, or remittances for sending communities, migration has been an important driver of development in the Mediterranean region. The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has severely disrupted this complex web of movements, raising questions about whether migration will continue to be an important driver of the region’s well-being. As time passed, it became clear that the drivers of migration are so strong that mobility restrictions can only reduce movements, not halt them entirely.

But excessive concentration of production, restrictive trade policies, supply chain disruptions, and regulatory divergence can jeopardize the ability of public health systems to respond to pandemics and other health crises. This report, coordinated by Nadia Rocha and Michele Ruta at the World Bank and Marc Bacchetta and Joscelyn Magdeleine at the WTO, provides new data on trade in medical goods and services and medical value chains; surveys the evolving policy landscape before and during the pandemic; and proposes an action plan to improve trade policies and deepen international cooperation to deal with future pandemics.</p> </div></div> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220629224901/https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/37494" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" class="lp__overlay-link">Trade Therapy : Deepening Trade Cooperation to Improve Global Health Security</a> </li> <li class="lp__list_navigation_section "> <div class="lp__vertical_img"> <picture> <source type="image/webp" media="(min-width:768px)" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220629224901im_/https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/37285/9781464818813.pdf.jpg?sequence=6&isAllowed=y" class="img-responsive"> <source type="image/webp" media="(min-width:320px)" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220629224901im_/https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/37285/9781464818813.pdf.jpg?sequence=6&isAllowed=y" class="img-responsive"> <source media="(min-width:992px)" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220629224901im_/https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/37285/9781464818813.pdf.jpg?sequence=6&isAllowed=y" class="img-responsive"> <source media="(min-width:768px)" srcset="https://web.archive.org/web/20220629224901im_/https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/37285/9781464818813.pdf.jpg?sequence=6&isAllowed=y" class="img-responsive"> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220629224901im_/https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/37285/9781464818813.pdf.jpg?sequence=6&isAllowed=y" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20220629224901/https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstream/handle/10986/37285/9781464818813.pdf.jpg?sequence=6&isAllowed=y" alt="Where Is the Value in the Chain? : Pathways out of Plastic Pollution" title="Where Is the Value in the Chain? : Pathways out of Plastic Pollution" class="lp-cover img-responsive "> </picture> </div> <div class="lp__list_navigation_content"><div class="lp__list_navigation_title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220629224901/https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/37285">Where Is the Value in the Chain? : Pathways out of Plastic Pollution</a> </div><div class="lp__blurb_text"><p>Where Is the Value in the Chain?
