#WeAreForus - What are national civil society platforms Bringing to BRICS? A conversation with VANI.
Welcome to a new episode of A Space for Us, the Forus podcast with National Civil Society platforms & regional coalitions who are part of our network and their allies. In this episode, we’re looking at the key conversations and ideas that emerged from the Civil BRICS Forum 2026 in New Delhi, where civil society leaders and policymakers came together to discuss how development can become more inclusive, resilient and locally led. We’re joined by Harsh Jaitli, CEO of VANI in India who brought important perspectives to these conversations. We’ll hear from Harsh about what stood out at the Forum, what civil society is calling for, and what it will take to turn commitments around localisation, participation and people-centred development into practice.
