Southern Voice will be hosting our landmark conference on the 24th and 25th of October 2023 in Nairobi, Kenya. The conference will conclude the Southern Voice network’s 10th anniversary year celebrations.
We are a network of 66 think tanks from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Our ultimate aim is to address the existing ‘knowledge asymmetry’ and ‘participation deficit’ in the dialogue on development. We do this by producing, promoting, and disseminating evidence-based policy analysis by researchers from Global South countries, with a focus on the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Through this conference, we aim to mobilise commitment in participants from the Global South and North to rebalance power asymmetries within the global development community; enrich the visions of change of participants and create more informed views on the different nuances involved in guaranteeing truly sustainable development; develop strategies to inform the objectives of the network in the upcoming years, that can also serve the goals of individual members and key partners; and enhance linkages within the Southern Voice network and with key Northern and Southern partners by identifying common ambitions, challenges and complementary capacity for strategic cooperation in the next years.
The leadership of the network’s member think tanks and key partners will be invited to develop together the thematic agenda and strategies that will further Southern Voice’s mission of positioning Global South perspectives over the network’s next ten years of impact.
