COVID-19 is disrupting businesses across the globe in unprecedented ways. In the framework of the EBSOMED project and as part of BUSINESSMED call to action’s webinar series on Building Back Resilience, a first BSO Management Academy under the theme "Connecting business initiatives response to COVID-19: transforming the private sector engagement through SDGs" will be held on October 22, 2020 in collaboration with Employers organisation members to BUSINESSMED.

The recent circumstances encouraged us to envision a realistic way forward towards achieving the 2030 Agenda. It has also brought to the fore how central the SDGs are, including past progress on the SDGs, for building resilience against crisis.

The webinar will explore how COVID-19 had disrupted businesses across the world and the unfamiliar challenges that have come with it, with a focus on the private sector’s response to COVID-19 in a way that aligns with the SDGs.

The objectives of the webinar are:

• Open-up the discussion with Employers and Private sector representatives on the challenges they are facing due to the COVID-19 crisis
• Invite Employers to join the Private Sector COVID-19 Facility
• Share bold actions put in place by private sector in response to COVID-19
• Share resources and best practices that can be used by the private sector to address the challenges posed by COVID-19 and how they should embed the SDGs into their interventions
