Southern Voice has a content partnership with the Strategic Intelligence platform of the World Economic Forum (WEF). Our network was recently invited to co-curate the platform’s Transformation Map on Sustainable Development

The Strategic Intelligence team seeks out diverse experts to join their Expert Network and contribute to various topics, which inspired their outreach to Southern Voice. We invite our readers to access and explore the map for free here.

This briefing of eight priorities from a Global South perspective is based on the knowledge of a wide range of scholars from Southern Voice. They analysed the state of play of:

  • Global Governance and Sustainability
  • Climate Resilience 
  • Healthcare and Vaccine Equity
  • Sustainable Food Systems
  • Inclusive Education
  • Gender and Sustainable Development
  • Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Economic Growth
  • and Energy Access

The Forum developed Strategic Intelligence to help users navigate accelerating global complexity by understanding the forces at play and their systemic interconnections. The platform supports informed decision-making by contextualising topics across 290+ dynamic visualisations, known as the Transformation Maps. Each map combines the Forums Expert Network inputs with machine intelligence to tag the latest content and insights against each topic, using natural language processing and artificial intelligence.

The Southern Voice authors of the sustainable development map are Dr Fareeha Armughan (SDPI-Pakistan), Margarita Beneke de Sanfeliu (Fusades-El Salvador), Protiva Kundu (CBGA-India), Diego Moreno and Paula Szenkman (both CIPPEC-Argentina), Rose Ngara-Muraya (Kippra-Kenya),  Aba Obrumah Crentsil (ISSER-Ghana), Mathew Sahil (CSTEP-India), Lakshila Wanigasinghe (IPS-Sri Lanka), and Gabriela Keseberg Dávalos (Southern Voice).
