Aligned with ODI Strategy 2021-2025, we are committed to placing equity, social justice, sustainability and inclusive growth at the forefront of our endeavors. As a result we are scaling up our efforts in this cluster in the Politics and Governance programme.

There is a crisis in the areas of rule of law, human rights and democratic values, this is evident in the eroding trust in governance institutions. We are focused on bridging the gap and advocating for justice for all. By addressing unmet legal needs and amplifying marginalised voices, we are contributing to reducing the global justice gap.
