There is a long list of important issues that we have to solve during the coming decades. This list does not only contain poverty, hunger, health and education issues but also questions concerning renewable energy, gender inequality, infrastructure and sustainable cities, only to name an additional few.

All countries are facing these challenges, on various scales and levels of urgency, but we all are facing them. This presentation makes the case for civil society involvement. Governments alone will not be able to solve them and even worse: some governments will try to bail out.

Civil society engagement is desperately needed and the presentation shows where opportunities are and what Performance Improvement can bring to the table.

Looking for an extra portion of purpose in your live? We are Civil Society and yes, we can do it!
