WEF 2023: ProjectTogether receives the Schwab Foundation Collective Social Innovation Award recognizing the power of collaborative action

Dela
Davos, January 18, 2023. The non-profit organization ProjectTogether received the Schwab Foundation’s Collective Social Innovation Award 2023 at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. As the first award winner in this category, the Schwab Foundation recognizes ProjectTogether for its new approach to orchestrate collaborative action between bottom-up innovators and top-down institutions to create impact. At the award ceremony, founder Philipp von der Wippel explained the vision of a pan-European approach to collective action—across all sectors and political levels—to tackle ongoing and looming societal challenges.

Global, complex and interconnected crises happen ever more frequently. States and societies are in urgent need of a working model for effective cross-sector collaboration. The Berlin based non-profit organization ProjectTogether tackles this challenge. ProjectTogether has so far involved more than 100,000 people and 80 governmental institutions in 10 mission-oriented processes like #WirVsVirus, Alliance4Ukraine, UpdateDeutschland, Farm-Food-Climate and Circular Futures. More than 2,000 social initiatives have been supported in scaling solutions for societal challenges.

Philipp von der Wippel:

“We all know that the existential challenges we face can only be solved collectively. But our institutions do not reflect that. They are not designed to orchestrate collective action. We have to make collective action part of our democratic framework. Imagine a process in which thousands of organizations and individuals come together and assemble around societal challenges, build trust, share resources and join in collectives in which they create more impact than they could ever have done individually. This is not daydreaming, this is what we do at ProjectTogether. (…) Let’s harness the biggest asset we have in our democracy: the power of the people!”

Report: BRICS+ likely new counterpoint to G7-led geopolitical order2.5.2024 09:05:42 CEST | Press release

Los Angeles/DNA - The expansion of the BRICS group of nations into what has informally been named BRICS+ could highlight a geopolitical shift, with the new grouping positioning itself as a counterpoint to the Western-led geopolitical order, a report published by the Luskin School of Public Affairs at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) argues. The report, titled "Towards A New Global Contestation? Comparing the Governance Performance of G7 and BRICS+ Nations" examines how the ten BRICS+ countries compare to the G7 nations on factors such as provision of public goods, quality of democracy and quality of governance. It uses the Berggruen Governance Index (BGI) to measure the governance performance of countries in these three dimensions. In January 2024, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) joined the BRICS group. The term BRICS was originally coined by an economist in the 2000s to refer to a group of emerging economies: Brazil, Russia, India,

Sahel elites must move away from 'zero-sum' policies, report urges2.5.2024 08:59:23 CEST | Press release

Los Angeles/DNA - A dual economic strategy focusing on domestic economic development and international partnerships to address the underlying challenges facing the Sahel region could help Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Sudan to build more resilient institutions and foster long-term development, a recently published report says. The report by the Luskin School of Public Affairs at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) argues that the four countries should aim to transition away from relying exclusively on resource extraction. It attributes much of the challenges facing the four countries on unsustainable economic policies which focus on the export of raw materials. Despite some improvements in terms of public goods provision - in particular regarding social and environmental public goods - these countries continue to face significant developmental challenges, ranking among the world's poorest. Titled "Political Instability and Economic Development in the Sahel: Governance in Bu
