International and multilateral organizations must constantly evolve to deliver on their complex mandates in times of economic, social, and political change. Progress in technology permits an unprecedented opportunity for organizations involved in the fields of education, science, culture and technology to connect on best practice and to collaborate more closely with the wider eco-system, increasing their tremendous leverage effect on economic progress and overall quality of life for all.
While multilateral organizations have contributed greatly to the progress, peace, and improvement of living standards all over the world since their inception over 50 years ago, there are widespread opportunities to expand member support, increase access to funding, and to adapt to a changing geopolitical landscape. Growing awareness and shared innovation create the possibility to increase private sector collaboration and to intensify our efforts in multilateral cooperation.
