Yet, some developing countries have fared better than others, and part of this success seems to be attributable to the use of prudent policy instruments within a policy mix that exhibits coherence. This article presents a COVID-19 case study of Pakistan and considers the following aspects of Pakistan’s policy mix: (1) polio and rural support infrastructure deployed for COVID-19 detection and awareness-creation; (2) the establishment of a national command and operation center (NCOC) to centralize real-time decision-making; (3) the use of the largest income support program to generate a targeted pro-poor stimulus; and (4) optimally targeted (smart) lockdowns. The findings suggest that developing countries can adjust sound policy responses to pandemic conditions despite their resource constraints, by calibrating extant policy instruments and mobilizing new ones within a coherent policy mix. 2022 artículo científico 2391-6389 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=663772650001 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6637/663772650001/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6637/663772650001/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6637/663772650001/663772650001.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6637/663772650001/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6637 Studia z Polityki Publicznej application/pdf Szkoła Główna Handlowa w Warszawie Studia z Polityki Publicznej (Polonia) Num.2 Vol.9 |
