The volume has 13 chapters by prominent scholars and practitioners covering policy and institutional shifts accelerated by the pandemic; measures for improved human conditions; and new modes of governance at the national, regional and global levels. The emerging priorities discussed also frame our strategic support to countries and the delivery of our new Strategic Plan.

You will find several topics that resonate with your current country context and/or portfolio. They include accelerating actions to address the climate emergency; innovations to avoid productivity and value chain slowdowns; the centrality of digitalization and universal internet access; a renewed focus on human insecurity and inequality; bringing back the conversation on global public goods; modernizing state capability and deepening trust and peoples’ agency
