As the world grapples with multiple headwinds – post-pandemic recovery, conflict, and multiple debt crises – a new set of actors have emerged that have focused their attentions on people-centric developmental models. As the world evaluates the performance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it is important to look beyond this milestone and consider the role that India and the Global South community can play in advancing the SDG agenda. These regions have a significant role in shaping the future trajectory of global development.

As the world grapples with multiple headwinds – post-pandemic recovery, conflict, and multiple debt crises – a new set of actors have emerged that have focused their attentions on people-centric developmental models. How the progressive nations of the South organize themselves over the next decade will have a profound impact on humanity’s progress. What kinds of partnerships will drive development in the 21st century? How can institutions, both old and new, respond to the demands of the farthest first?
