Sustainable development, “leaving no one behind” and the 2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration. We maintain partnerships with relevant international governmental and civil society organisations, professional bodies and think tanks throughout the regions in which we work. These multi-level partnerships are central to our research approach. Examples of partner organisations working with us include the Overseas Development Institute and International Service in the UK, the Stockholm Environment Institute in Colombia, United Nations Research Institute For Social Development (UNRISD), Geneva, University of Malawi College of Medicine and the East, Central and Southern Africa Health Community (ECSA).
