Trade is a powerful engine. But who is driving the engine? And what else needs to be done to let all parts of society benefit from trade policy? We try to empower those who are not yet the main beneficiaries of the current trade policy regime. More

Employment and Social Policy
Decent work for all is not a slogan for us. It is our mission. We work together with a vast variety of stakeholders to achieve decent work for all; for the informal and formal sector, for women and men, for more and less advantaged. More
Topic
Human Rights and Development
The list of challenges to human rights in the 21st century is long. Climate change threatens fundamental human rights, such as the right to food, water or adequate housing. Austerity measures sacrifice the public’s right to social security, health and work in an attempt to balance state budgets. More

Peace and Security Policy
Peace is more than the absence of war. Sustainable peace needs to be cultivated throughout the conflict cycle, from early warning to conflict transition.

Podcast "Building Back Better: A Call for Courage"
Podcast 1: “Building Back Better with Courage to Collaborate Globally”
Caroline Dommen (host) is speaking with Todd Howland (OHCHR), Gabrielle Marceau (WTO), and Manuela Tomei (ILO). In this podcast, the guests are looking at why no single country can win the battle against a crisis alone but is in need of coordinated cooperation.
Podcast 2: “Building Back Better with Courage to Value the Environment”
Caroline Dommen (host) is speaking with Joachim Monkelbaan (QUNO) and Ben Schachter (OHCHR). In this podcast, the guests discuss how much we depend on a healthy environment - not least because of our own health - and what this pandemic has shown us in this regard.
Podcast 3: “Building Back Better with Courage to Redistribute Power”
Caroline Dommen (host) is speaking with Olivier De Schutter (UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights), Kinda Mohamadieh (TWN), and Karin Pape (WIEGO). In this podcast, the imbalances of power within and between societies as well as between the private and the public sector are at the heart of the discussion.
Podcast 4: “Building Back Better with Courage to Overcome Inequalities”
Caroline Dommen (host) is speaking with Torbjörn Fredriksson (UNCTAD), Rashid Kaukab (CUTS International), and Magdalena Sepulveda (GI-ESCR). In this podcast, the guests discuss why this pandemic is a “shecession”, why digital solutions are not (yet) available for everyone and why not only developing countries are in need of a fairer international trade governance.
Podcast 5: “Building Back Better with Courage to Look to the Future”
Caroline Dommen (host) is speaking with Daniel Bertossa (PSI) and Lily Sommer (ECA). In this podcast, the guests look into a brighter future where public services and those working in the sector are adequately valued - and valued more than privatized services – and why this pandemic can be a fostering element for Africa towards a more robust and flourishing trading region.
