Co-construction with practitioners and member-based organizations to make the work more relevant and more informed about issues of concrete implementation; marginalized voices and communities in developing and developed countries will be closely associated to this stage.

Mobilizing expertise with intersectoral and cross-disciplinary depth, in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issues and avoid biases coming from specific approaches and narrow disciplinary expertise.

The Panel will opt for a work method that differs from standard applied research or think-tank analysis. It will privilege:

• a strong focus on co-construction with practitioners and member-based organizations to make the work more relevant and more informed about issues of concrete implementation,
• a mobilization of interdisciplinary/intersectoral expertise on every issue to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issues and avoid biases coming from specific approaches and narrow disciplinary expertise;
• a focus on developing solutions and roadmaps accessible to civil society change-makers and not only for governments and policy-makers.
