The policy dialogue platform aims at building a formal and informal dialogue process between African, Asian, American and European experts bringing together global perspectives including Climate, Energy, Agriculture, Forestry, Biodiversity, Water, Mining, Finance, Sustainable Development, Economic transformation, International Cooperation and Innovation, to facilitate shared global expectations and vision. The platform convenes critical thinkers to help set out the themes and issues that are relevant for a shared sense of prosperity for the World and looks at what works well, where it is working well and why it is working well as well as how to cascade the successes.

By developing a network of global experts (from think tanks, universities, companies and businesses, governments and opinion shapers) mobilized in favour of sustainable recovery and economic transformation that come together regularly to discuss and reflect independently on the global relationship and co-build value propositions for a renewed global cooperation.

We aim, in the long run at bringing fresh ideas to the table to overcome misunderstandings and foster collaboration. We seek to amend the relationship by bringing together new empirical analyses: data, knowledge, and finance are key to changing the relationship!
The platform is co-chaired by Jacob Olonde (CEO of ECAS Institute), Robert Muthami (Embassy of Sweden in Kenya), and Michael Keisser (GWD Germany) and guided by a steering committee.
Given the historical asymmetries, there is a need for a balanced approach to the partnership between Africa, the Americas, Europe and Asia highlighting some of the potential divergences and addressing openly these potential divergences regarding their strategic priorities.
In this regard, it seems key to strengthen the understanding of regional expectations regarding climate action, agriculture and food sovereignty, green industrialization, water security, circular economy, green jobs and economic transformation and opportunities and their implications.
our dialogue formats are always influenced by social aspects and global developments.
Our dialogues are designed under the Chatham House Rule which is a non-attribution principle that guides confidentiality and openness in discussions. It states that meeting participants can use information from a discussion but are not allowed to reveal who said anything or who attended. The rule is intended to encourage free discussion and allow people to express views that may not be those of their organizations.
