Society, Health and Gender
New multi-stakeholder and connectivity initiatives – from the Coalition for Disaster Risk Reduction (CDRI) to the International Solar Alliance to the Indo-Pacific – present new avenues for the governments of India and the UK to strengthen collaboration across various sectors: infrastructure development, disaster (including global health risks) management, urban resilience, and energy transitions. The IUKDPF conducts policy research and dialogue to identify how these initiatives might be leveraged to support inclusive development, social equity, and gender equality.
