Today at @RetroReport, New York, we're convening #TheListeningState at #UNGA81, bringing funders, African leaders, and practitioners together around what it takes for a state to listen to its citizens and respond.
Anchored on three questions: what rebuilds trust between citizens and the state; whose voice counts as aid shrinks and technology shifts; and what the next decade of support for public institutions should look like.
Follow the conversation here and on our channels through the evening.
