Theme for Development Dialogue 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year, the Dialogue delves into a theme of current interest, and in many ways reflects the evolution of the Sandbox through the years. This year’s theme is “Collaborating for Big Bets”. Humanity is faced with complex issues today. Resources are limited, the sense of urgency is real and sociopolitical landscapes are shifting creating infinite and sometimes irreversible global impact. To address these issues it is essential to leverage mutual strengths; build coalitions across sectors and collaborate to deliver on bold solutions with sharper focus and ever more rigorous efforts. This drives the theme of Development Dialogue 2018 \u201cCollaborating for Big Bets\u201d. The conference draws on over 12 years of collaborative experiences of the Sandbox ecosystem and provides opportunities for potential alignment that could deliver on goals of urgent interest to humanity.<\/p>\n
