Engaging with Civil Society Sample Clauses

Engaging with Civil Society. Civil society leaders share the G20‟s commitment to promoting democratic processes, good governance and reducing corruption. As the G20 develops its agenda over the next several years, it is important that G20 leaders recognize that civil society leaders can be valuable partners in pursuing these goals. A multi-stakeholder approach has been successful in many cases in developing shared strategies to address a range of global issues (i.e., G8 research group compliance studies; World Bank inspection panels; World Commission on Dams). This principle is now embedded at the global level in such organizations as the Global Fund and the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunization (GAVI).
