Annual review
Against the backdrop of another challenging year, where multiple intersecting crises are affecting a world still reeling from the Covid-19 pandemic, our 2022-23 Annual Review highlights the progress we have made towards our vision of a more equitable and sustainable world.
In the last twelve months we have been working with our partners to strengthen a ‘decolonised’ agenda, grounded in diverse, inclusive, equitable sharing of knowledge and resources. This Review highlights many examples of such approaches. Please read our 22-23 Annual Review to read more.
