This project seeks to find evidence-based solutions to political, economic, and social exclusion problems, to understand their links to conflict, and to unblock political obstacles to implementing these solutions. This project also supports institutions and countries in meeting 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development vision by working closely with countries emerging from conflict or facing conflict risk by seeking new government commitments. This project has two phases. The second phase activities include: (1) convening high-level member state representatives, senior policymakers, and renowned experts to discuss and contribute to a “challenge paper” for the grand challenge on inequality and exclusion; (2) producing and publishing a Challenge Paper to inform discussion and follow-up work on research, policy, and political level action throughout 2019 and beyond; and (3) supporting participating countries and organizations in developing work plans integrating gender equality analysis.
