The year 2020 was unprecedented. It posed health, economic and other challenges that called for urgent actions and even changed our ways of working with ‘Social Distancing’ as a ‘New Normal'!  

We, at CUTS International, fulfilled our commitments against all the odds, deployed teams on the ground for COVID emergency response, explored new ways to engage with the last mile, influenced the policy landscape through evidence-based actions, and most importantly took many lessons for our future work. While the ‘New Normal’ changed our ways of working as face-to-face meetings were replaced by virtual ones, we debated, advocated and innovated many ways to touch upon lives and for making this world a better place to live in, again. 

CUTS International is a non-profit, non-partisan and non-governmental think- and action-tank pursuing social justice, economic equality and environmental balance, within and across borders.
