Every five years, we lay out a new plan of action for how we’ll support civil society across the Commonwealth to meet the world’s most complex challenges. Our mission is clear: equip communities with the democratic, economic and climate resilience they need to respond to a rapidly shifting global landscape marked by rising inequality, more frequent economic shocks and geopolitical tensions. It is in this context that we have developed our new 5-Year Strategic Plan (2026–2031). It sets out how we will support civil society, grassroots communities and creative practitioners to take collective action and shape discourse and policy in Commonwealth states. In the coming weeks, we’ll explore on this channel how we can meet this moment to strengthen civic infrastructure and ecosystems together. 📄 Read the full plan: https://lnkd.in/efkAtmrW
