Global Perspectives

Every year, leaders of national and international civil society organisations gather at the Global Perspectives Conference with people passionate about doing social good, to exchange ideas and experiences, make connections and address the world’s most pressing challenges.  

Global Perspectives 2021 was held as a hybrid experience, from 25 October to 4 November 2021. It brought together an international audience from national and international civil society organisations (CSOs), foundations, governments and business. Last year’s theme focussed on the civil society sector approaches, opportunities and challenges of Shifting Power. We provided global and regional perspectives – holding in-person meetings in three hubs in East Africa, South East Asia and Latin America.

With three pillars in focus: de-concentrating data and digitalisation, decolonising aid and organisational structures, and embracing new power, we brought in futurists and forward thinkers to support and challenge participants.

Watch and listen to our participants’ reflections on the Global Perspectives 2021 conference.
