The economic and social impact of covid-19 pandemic both on developing and developed countries has been significant. In addition to the impact of the pandemic, the current Ukraine war has also led to severe supply chain disruptions leading to a sharp increase in food and commodity prices globally.

The challenge for developing countries in the current scenario is to mobilise adequate resources both from domestic and international sources, not just for the achievement of SDGs as such, but also to sustain the livelihoods, health, and welfare of people. This special issue of our Journal, the European Journal of Development Research (EJDR) aims to examine some of these issues in the context of developing countries. Until the end of March, all articles of the special issue are open access

The panelists are:

Dr Tonmoy Choudhury, King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals Business School, Saudi Arabia

Dr Farhad Taghizadeh-Hesary, Tokai University, Japan

Dr Sisira Colombage, Federation University, Australia

Hosts: Dr Rashmi Arora, University of Bradford, UK and Prof Tapan Sarker, University of Southern Queensland, Australia
