Title: |
Connecting Civil Society and Formal Institutions for Inclusive Decision-Making |
|
Description: |
Good, inclusive governance is the golden thread that keeps all development assistance together. Without investment in better governance the sustainability of virtually all ODA efforts is jeopardized. Inclusive governance relies on constructive relationships between civil society actors and institutions of governance allowing for tangible inputs in decision-making that reflect diverse interests and needs, including those of marginalized groups. With increasing democratic backsliding on a global scale and growing polarization of the political spaces in democracies themselves, this relationship is challenged, yet fundamental to sustain and improve. Join us as we share lived experiences and discuss evolving approaches to facilitating constructive relationships between civil society and decision-makers. Chatham House Rules will apply to the panel discussion |
