Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in over millions confirmed cases and over hundred thousand of deaths globally. It has brought difficult situations for citizens of nations across the world, and have sparked fears of an impending economic crisis and recession. Policy markers and public managers worldwide are put on the test on their crisis management capability. This paper is the summary that I presented in The Fourth Conference on Sustainability Science organized by the Center for Environment and Sustainability Science, University of Padjadjaran (UNPAD) on 8th October, 2020. In this paper, the responses and impacts of COVID-19 pandemic of Asian and African countries will be introduced. Learning from these experiences, we seek for hints that would be needed for the sustainable recovery of the Post Pandemic COVID-19 global society.
