Addressing 21 Century Challenges: Global Public Investment for the Common Good
High-level Thought Leaders' Working Group
5–7 June 2023
Having convened the Expert Working Group on GPI, which concluded that the principles of ‘all contribute, all benefit, all decide’ can be the basis for cooperation in raising and disbursing the significant resources needed to address common challenges, Equal is partnering with Southern-based think tanks and Wilton Park to convene a ‘political cocreation’ process to support the adoption of a new framework. The questions and issues raised in this Briefing Paper provide a stepping-off point for the work of this partnership. This is the first in a series of events, and the insights and outputs from this cocreation process will be shared and linked with the work of other stakeholders and networks more broadly to support cross-sector collaboration and advocacy.
ABOUT
Equal International is a leading international development think tank and consultancy based in the UK and South Africa.
Our mission to ensure the inclusion and dignity of marginalised groups and those at risk of being 'left behind', by using our unique skillset to foster structural change.
In our practice, we strive to be mindful of intersecting power and privilege and the many structural barriers that exacerbate inequality and hinder equitable access to goods and services.
We use our expertise in cocreation, thought leadership and advocacy strategy to channel and amplify the needs and voices of marginalised groups, and to build capacity and transfer skills in the course of our work.
