Convenings take place in Bogota in March, Nairobi in May, and New York in September.

Governments finalise the core programme of work for 2026-2028.

Governments initiate consultations with key stakeholders including multilateral and public development banks, civil society, the private sector and international institutions.

2027

Governments develop draft set of common principles for governance of a future GPI cooperation framework and options for implementation.

Governments develop policy proposals and pilots within a twin focus on narrative and institutional evolution.

A number of leading global or regional mechanism align closely with GPI, providing transparent, non-debt-creating, cooperative funding for shared global challenges.

Beyond 2030

Countries are cooperating together in large scale, equitable and well-managed investment to meet common challenges, helping to enable shared prosperity, stability and sustainability. As a result, across the world, more and more people have access to better healthcare, energy, social safety nets when crises hit, and the means to build their own lives.

The work of the coalition will be responsive to the changing context, to inputs from consultations, and to emerging opportunities, and so the roadmap shared above is an illustrative forward view, not static or automatic, and will be adapted as needed.
