In the dynamic landscape of Latin America & the Caribbean, governance is continually evolving, marked by the emergence of new governments with new leadership and agendas. The region is reimagining social contracts, emphasizing citizen engagement and accountability in this era of change. Collaborative governance, where national and local governments, civil society, and the private sector partner to create a virtuous cycle of economic growth and social well-being, is critical to driving positive change and advancing inclusive development. Amidst the uncertainty created by political transitions, the private sector's investment, innovation, and job creation emerge as beacons of economic resilience, while civil society stands as a staunch advocate for accountability and social justice. This session will explore strategies to cultivate trust and collaboration across diverse sectors, shaping a path leading to more effective, inclusive, and resilient democracies.
