Discussion at the Country Hearing in Singapore

The Global Redesign Initiative (GRI) is an interdisciplinary, multistakeholder dialogue to develop recommendations to reform and enhance international cooperation. The initiative was launched by the World Economic Forum in 2009 under the patronage of the governments of Qatar, Singapore, Switzerland and Tanzania.

The Network of Global Agenda Councils with over 1,200 experts from more than seventy thematic areas develop innovative ideas and recommendations. Leaders from business, government, civil society, academia and media provide input through their participation in specific sessions at the Forum’s different meetings.

These events were supplemented by three "Country Hearings" co-organized with the patron governments.

Lord Malloch-Brown, a former UNDP Administrator and UN Deputy Secretary-General, who is now the Senior Advisor to the Global Redesign Initiative, explains the objectives and the purpose of the inititiave:
