Hi Pivot friends!  Today we are sharing a synthesis article by Secretariat Southern Voice, a network of think tanks from the Global South working on rebalancing knowledge asymmetry. The paper, authored by Andrea Ordoñez  Lianos, Peter Taylor, Geetika Khanduja, Eric Nelson and Tracy Mamoun, explores the complexities of achieving equitable research partnerships across the Global North/South divide. This recent publication looks into contrasting perspectives on reshaping research collaborations and advancing equity within the global development knowledge ecosystem. It also explores how stakeholders from diverse backgrounds view and navigate power dynamics in research. As highlighted in the paper “Finding common ground is crucial to developing a joint action agenda for pro-equity change.” Explore the full article and discover key insights and proposals for fostering transformative change. https://lnkd.in/d7fEuwf7

What ist he impact of the social economy on social inclusion, job quality and environmental sustainability? This question is now being addressed by our Seminar for Cooperative Studies with the research project ‘AdvancementS in Social Economy through Technical Solutions’ (ASSETS). The project aims to carry out research, improve evaluation tools through local integration and technological progress, and create a digital cooperation platform to involve stakeholders and improve working conditions in the social economy. The seminar successfully applied for the research project, which is funded by the EU as part of the HORIZON Research Innovation Actions, in a network of 15 universities and practice partners from across the EU. #cooperativestudies #HorizonEU

Convening Connections, Aotearoa New Zealand Wednesday, April 3, 2024 - 9:30 am-11:00 am Please join us next week in a Practice Foundations // Pushing the Boundaries for Public Sector Innovation mash up - The session will be co-hosted by The Lab, Healthy Families Far North, and Lily Raphael of Vancouver Solutions Lab as part of the international series "Pushing the Boundaries of Public Sector Innovation”. We will be connecting with folks from Australia, North America, and beyond to explore the personal and structural aspects of systems change, grounded in an example from early years systems transformation efforts in Aotearoa.   Speakers Aimee Hadrup (The Southern Initiative), Tanya Radford (Te Whatu Ora) and Angie Tangere - Ngāti Porou (The Lab) will share their experiences with the Early Years Implementation Learning Platform. The Platform brings together teams from across the public sector in Aotearoa to support a collective focus on the early years. It works to connect “on the ground” learning in community with systems transformation efforts, drawing on indigenous ways of knowing and being in the curation of the relationships, spaces and rhythms needed to do this work.  This is session 3 of 3: Governments are facing increasing pressures to address complex challenges like climate change, growing inequity, reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, and many others at the scale and rate that these challenges demand. We know we need to operate differently in order for different outcomes to be possible. The public sector needs to update the paradigms, processes, systems, structures, and tools of their trade to better respond to the complexity of the challenges we face. This is transformational work. The three sessions in this cycle will explore the inner and outer work of systems transformation in the public sector.
