Persisting global shocks – such as the coronavirus pandemic, populism, and racial injustice – continue to exacerbate inequality and further marginalize the hardest-to-reach populations, those living in extreme poverty, the administratively invisible and geographically remote.
The pandemic threatened to break global systems, yet we have remained resilient — as individuals, as organizations, and in our commitment to making the world a more just, equitable and ultimately flourishing place. Resilience, in some instances, has been about staying true to original goals and pathways to achieve them; resilience, in other cases, has been about adapting and discovering new and innovative pathways.
This year’s symposium is more important than ever. The task before us now is to apply what we’ve learned to our shared goal: the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
Reach research uncovers insights about society’s margins to understand the story of human resilience, studying the mechanisms that help hard-to-reach communities prepare for and endure inevitable shocks. We investigate how organizations pivot in the face of challenges and remain steadfast in their commitment to reaching the hardest-to-reach.
