Council for Global Advocacy
Core Functions of the Continental Social Councils
Care to Change the World
Community Representation and Dialogue
Each Council serves as a representative body, gathering insights from across civil society, grassroots communities, marginalized groups, SMEs, academic actors, and social entrepreneurs. The aim is to bring forth diverse and grounded perspectives that can inform strategic decision-making.
Feedback Mechanism to GSEA and Implementation Bodies
The Councils act as an active feedback loop to all components of the Global Social Equity Alliance (GSEA), particularly African Unity 2063, Unity Center of Excellence, and Agenda 2074. They ensure that the vision of social equity is constantly tested and refined against real-world experience.
Policy Guidance and Localized Interpretation
Councils are authorized to issue non-binding policy advisories, white papers, or regional briefs. These are submitted directly to GSEA and relevant institutional actors to influence implementation priorities, adaptation strategies, and funding alignments.
Monitoring and Reporting
Each Council reports on local progress, challenges, and trends in relation to Agenda 2074 and the relevant Pan-Continental Power Play. This includes observations on effectiveness, equity, and environmental sustainability, and ensures accountability from the ground up.
The councils convene digitally and physically, with regional working groups throughout the year and a Global Summit of Councils held annually to foster exchange, highlight regional experiences, and influence broader governance agendas.
Summit and Dialogue Facilitation
Councils convene local and continental forums and contribute to the annual Global Social Equity Summit, where all continents meet to exchange experiences, raise collective priorities, and align international strategy.
Inclusivity Audits and Recommendations
A special focus is placed on auditing inclusivity in every implementation project—ensuring gender equity, youth inclusion, disability access, and minority participation are not only considered but actively integrated.
Public Trust and Legitimacy Building
Beyond technical contributions, the Councils function as legitimacy bearers. By ensuring that implementation is not top-down, but participatory, they build public trust in both GSEA and the associated funding mechanisms.
