Promoting inclusive and coherent governance for sustainable development
AlphaZULU Advocates’ mission is to raise awareness of the interconnectedness of global problems (social, economic and environmental) in the context of the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, thereby strengthening global advocacy efforts to bridge the gap between problems and policy interventions, by promoting coordinated, inclusive and evidence-based approaches to governance that is accessible, participatory, responsive, accountable and transparent, as well as through mobilising meaningful and impactful actions from a variety of multistakeholder partners.
We are focused on supporting governments and public stakeholders through:
being an open source of knowledge sharing on global sustainable development;
creating a mindset of ethical and responsible choices for sustainable living;
encouraging inclusive and effective governance across levels of Government;
promoting enabling and empowering mechanisms for public stakeholders;
influencing effective policy making, implementation and review processes; and
monitoring changes in social, economic and environment development resulting from inclusive and coherent governance for contributing to global knowledge.
