While providing a trusted space for policy dialogues and sharing of policy best practices, the pillar helps to isolate and confront development challenges facing nations globally.
The pillar helps to identify and overcome developmental challenges facing nations globally through research, advisory, and inclusive policy engagement.
How We Support Development
The pillar helps to identify and overcome developmental challenges facing nations globally through three key approaches.
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
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
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
