Round 3

Round 3 focused on bringing the discussion to a close with a perspective on the future of S&D. We asked our experts to provide their views on where they would recommend the S&D community focused their efforts. See what each of our experts had to say about these issues.

Our 10 experts responded to the following 2 questions:

Do you consider it still a ‘taboo’ to talk openly of mistakes or ‘what went wrong’ in S&D programmes? How do you propose overcoming this challenge?
What three active measures do you recommend the S&D community to take as a collective in the next 3-5 years to address the biggest challenges outlined earlier in the discussion?
