IDLO Partnership Forum 2024

The world is grappling with complex, interrelated crises – including conflict, climate change, declining trust in institutions, and a widening justice gap – that threaten to reverse decades of development gains, undermine the multilateral system, and destabilize societies. With growing polarization and heightened risks, the next few years are likely to be an extreme resilience test of governance at all levels.

The Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations, together reflect global leaders’ commitment to correct course and build a renewed multilateralism to address shared challenges. The rule of law will be central to delivering on these bold ambitions.

In a world of unprecedented challenges and opportunities, IDLO’s new Strategic Plan 2025-2028 is grounded in our belief that the rule of law is not just an abstract principle but a powerful tool that can promote peace and prosperity, unlock development potential, and protect human rights for all.

As an enabler and accelerator of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the rule of law can address the root causes of global crises and equip people and governments to develop fair and collaborative approaches to navigate a rapidly changing world. IDLO’s approach is tailored to the specific needs and contexts of its partners, ensuring that the rule of law contributes meaningfully to improving people’s lives.

On the occasion of the Strategic Plan’s adoption by the Assembly of Parties, the 2024 edition of IDLO’s Partnership Forum will feature a panel of high-level speakers who will share their experiences of using rule of law solutions to combat corruption, reduce the justice gap for women and girls, advance climate justice and enable inclusive economic growth.

Simultaneous interpretation will be provided in English, French and Spanish
