Our world today confronts an unprecedented confluence of crises: a catastrophic health crisis unleashed by the most devastating pandemic in a hundred years; the worst economic crisis since World War II; a continuing climate crisis; a crisis of inequality; and a crisis of democracy, reflecting historically-low citizen trust in government and the unfettered rise of authoritarian leaders. Sanjay Pradhan (CEO of the 78-country Open Government Partnership) will speak about courageous reformers and activists who are implementing innovative reforms that tackle these crises and their movement to build back a more vibrant, inclusive and participatory democracy coming out of the pandemic that empowers its citizens to shape and oversee their government.
