<h1>Engaging with Policy in the Global South</h1><h2>An Institute for Policy and Engagement conference</h2>Are you an academic working on issues of importance to governments and decision makers in the Global South? Are you hoping to influence policy decisions? If so, you already know that this can be tricky terrain. Influencing policy anywhere is a challenge, but in the Global South it means navigating complex histories, power imbalances and preconceptions. An understanding of the context and the perspective of global policy makers is essential, but how can academics build this into their policy impact plans?If you’re grappling with this challenge, the University of Nottingham Institute for Policy and Engagement invites you to attend our one-day conference, Engaging with Policy in the Global South, on Tuesday 24 March. You will hear directly from policy makers and practitioners from around the globe, as well as from leading policy-engaged Nottingham academics, on how to approach policy impact work that takes account of historical and local context and develops positive, equitable relationships with policy actors in the Global South. Learning from experiences from both academics and policy professionals, find out what works in terms of successful impact – and what doesn’t. Through interactive discussions and workshops, you’ll also be able to start developing the tools to apply this expertise to your own work.We hope you will join us for a stimulating, challenging and valuable day.For inquiries or further information, please contact theinstitute@nottingham.ac.uk.<h3>Location</h3>Devere Jubilee Conference CentreNottingham NG7 2TU<h3>Agenda</h3>Tuesday, 24 March09:15 - 10:00 - Registration and Coffee10:00 - 11:10 - Plenary Session: Keynote Address11:10 - 11:30 - Coffee Break11:30 - 13:00 - Breakout Sessions<ul><li>Session 1: Working in post-colonial contexts</li><li>Session 2: Engaging with multilateral institutions</li><li>Session 3: Cultivating positive third-sector partnerships</li></ul>13:00 - 14:00 - Lunch14:00 - 15:00 - Plenary Session: Pecha Kucha Insight Sharing15:00 - 15:20 - Coffee Break15:20 - 16:15 - Plenary Session: Facilitated Discussion16:15 - 17:00 - Networking Reception
