The Inclusive Society Institute (ISI) participated in the Foundation for Global Governance and Sustainability’s roundtable on Efforts for Greater Global Resilience Through More Inclusive and Effective Multilateralism. The roundtable was held on 23 November 2022.
The objective of the roundtable was to see input from African think tanks, universities and civil society on the global discussion aimed at strengthening multilateralism.
