Communities as policy instruments

  • Our future depends on resilient institutions able to act efficaciously where it matters. Beyond slow and costly regulation, we need smarter ways to act and be prepared.

  • Communities as policy instruments leverage the EC's convening power to close the implementation gap through stakeholder-driven solutions. By convening people with shared purpose, communities enable structured dialogues and peer learning that help translate policy into practice and provide essential reality checks.
