A bridge collapses. Eleven children lose their lives.
Behind it: bribes, inflated contracts and illicit proceeds hidden across borders.
In a #GlobENetwork simulation exercise, practitioners followed the money, from a secure message to a Joint Investigation Team.

What does it take to rebuild trust in migration?
Listening to communities. Including migrants in decisions. Turning dialogue into action.
At #IDM2026, participants shared what needs to change, and why cooperation remains essential to making migration work for everyone.

Effective climate action depends on whose voices are heard, how decisions & resources are managed, & whether institutions deliver. Technology, infrastructure & finance matter, but so do public trust, rights & accountability. ¬ Gift Richard Maloya, Director @ClimateactionMW

Corruption is, at its root, a failure of integrity. Strengthening integrity works on three fronts:
• Prevention. Shared values and ethics make abuse of office less likely to start.
• Reporting. People of integrity refuse bribes and report wrongdoing.
• Enforcement. Laws work only when officials and institutions apply them honestly.

Measuring corruption is not about finding one perfect indicator.
It is about combining different data sources to build a clearer picture.

Critical minerals are essential to the energy transition—but meeting growing demand must not come at the expense of biodiversity, ecosystems, or the communities that depend on them.

Can your CSO actually monitor Agenda 2063?!
Yes, and you don’t need to track everything.
Start with one commitment connected to the work your organization is already doing. Then follow the trail:
📌 What was promised?
📊 What indicator shows progress?
🏛️ Who is responsible?
📄 What evidence can you find?
📈 What has changed?
⚠️ Where are the gaps?
👥 And what are citizens actually experiencing?
That turns #Agenda2063 from a broad continental framework into something your organization can follow, document and monitor.
The @AU_ECOSOCC CSO Toolkit: Monitoring of Agenda 2063 provides practical guidance for CSOs using quantitative and qualitative, indicator-based approaches to monitor implementation. Check it out: ecosocc.au.int/en/documents/…
