How We Support Development

The pillar helps to identify and overcome developmental challenges facing nations globally through three key approaches.

01

Advisory Roles

We build a vibrant and experienced community of practice to inform and provide technical support and advisory services to government, business and private sector and public benefit organizations.

  • Technical support to government
  • Business sector advisory
  • Public benefit organization support
02

Inclusivity

We convene and manage inclusive dialogues bringing together key stakeholders, policy influential and communities to interact with the Centre's knowledge products.

  • Multi-stakeholder dialogues
  • Community engagement
  • Knowledge product dissemination
03

Equity

We generate broad-based national consensus on what a more equitable, sustainable development and transformation path could look like for a nation. We therefore support pro-poor development research and policy advisory through cross-cutting policy research on development regionally and globally.

  • Pro-poor development research
  • Equitable transformation pathways
  • Cross-cutting policy research
