International Budget Partnership 229d ago

🌍 This groundbreaking Solutions Session brought together leading international organizations to explore innovative approaches to tackling systemic inequality at the World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2). 💼 Co-hosted by UNRISD, FEPS, International Budget Partnership, UNICEF, UN OHCHR, and NETRIGHT, this high-level dialogue examined both pre-distribution policies—such as direct interventions in labour markets and the economy—and redistribution policies like progressive, gender-just fiscal approaches to advance poverty eradication, full and productive employment with decent work, and social integration. 💰 Discover how fair tax policies can mobilize resources to invest in public services and social policy while promoting a more level playing field for all. 🏛️ The session presented concrete solutions for addressing inequality through multiple pathways: progressive taxation, gender-responsive fiscal policy, labour market interventions, and economic reforms that create opportunities before wealth is even distributed. Panelists explored necessary reforms to the international trade, investment, and financial architecture that would increase policy space for innovative approaches at local and national levels. 🤝 The dialogue also highlighted ways to promote community-led solutions and ensure meaningful participation in policy-making processes, recognizing that those most affected by inequality must have a voice in designing solutions. ✨ Proposals for deepening international cooperation—including support for policy research and ideational exchange by academia and think tanks—were debated among this distinguished gathering of UN agencies, civil society organizations, and progressive policy institutes. Held in person at the Qatar National Convention Centre during WSSD2, this session demonstrated the power of multi-stakeholder collaboration in advancing social development goals. 🎯 Essential viewing for policymakers, social development practitioners, fiscal policy experts, civil society advocates, and anyone committed to building more equitable societies through innovative pre-distribution and redistribution strategies. 🌍 ✨ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ Explore More Resources ✨ 🔗 IBP's Work on Progressive Fiscal Policy: https://www.internationalbudget.org/ 🔗 UNRISD Research on Social Development: https://www.unrisd.org/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ About This Channel Welcome to the International Budget Partnership – your gateway to transparent, inclusive, and accountable public budgeting worldwide. 🌍✨ Discover the transformative power of fiscal transparency and embark on a journey toward democratic governance and social justice.
