This brief shares the key lessons learned from COVIDaction Local Production Local Solutions (LPLS).  Through its work, LPLS identified that localisation of production, distributed manufacturing and circular economy approaches can help increase resilience to emergencies and improve the responsiveness of production systems to community needs. These approaches can also help to reduce waste, limit carbon emissions, and mitigate the impacts of production systems on the environment.

This paper seeks to share key principles around how telehealth and data innovations can be used to support more resilient health systems. Findings are based on the learnings of the COVIDaction Resilient Health Systems (RHS) program, which tested a new way of rapidly supporting innovators to strengthen health systems, in response to the pandemic.
