Realising Inclusivity
About this initiative
The ‘Realising Inclusivity’ initiative takes as its starting point the concept of inclusivity as an established norm in international policy, affirming the idea that diverse groups across a broad spectrum of society should have a say in processes that affect them. Recognising that the inclusion of different stakeholders can be meaningful for a variety of reasons, the initiative specifically focuses on the inclusion of marginalised groups, including (but not limited to) women and youth. It also acknowledges civil society as providing the space in which the voices of marginalised groups are most often organised and channelled.
