In this episode we speak with Dr. Carole-Anne Sénit (Utrecht University) about who really shapes global development agendas and whether civil society participation is truly democratic or just symbolic. Dr. Carole-Anne Sénit unpacks power, representation and the role of the Global South in shaping the post-2030 framework, questioning what meaningful participation and accountability should look like in an era of shrinking civic space. A must-listen for anyone engaged in the future of development, democracy and global governance.
