Blockchain for Development in the Era of the COVID-19 Pandemic

In the context of Informationand Communication Technologies (ICT) for Development (ICT4D), several efforts have been carried out over the last decades to help developing countries address their challenges. In times of a pandemic, such as the COVID-19, several of these challenges gain higher priority...
