3rd International Conference on Governance and Development
Conference Theme:
GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT IN TRANSITION
Currently, the world is undergoing emergent challenges: social and economic recovery, the election of new governments, changes in agriculture and climate that affects global food and supply chains, and calls for timely action on environmental sustainability. These lead to substantial paradigm shifts among institutions and reshaped spaces of power, with new players and stakeholders emerging as crucial decision-makers.
This year’s conference theme initiates agenda-setting conversations and debates recognizing the agencies of institutions and communities to lead governance and development to better pathways.
Conference Agenda
The 3rd ICGD will address the following questions to support this year’s theme:
Institutions in transition

- How will institutional innovations, such as in agricultural and rural development, enhance human capabilities and capacities in communities in transition?
New ways of rethinking governance and development

- How can data and information shape critical policy decisions?

Shared future and prosperity
- After these transitions, how do institutions forge partnerships and cooperation toward shared prosperity?
