These focused sessions will bring together relevant stakeholders to discuss specific issues faced by the government departments or development organizations to develop context-specific solutions. Structured as focused, participatory conversations and anchored in a central question or theme, they will draw on lived experience, on-ground knowledge, and sectoral expertise, to foster active exchange and emphasize collaboration, critical thinking, and the development of context-specific solutions.
The goal is to move beyond broad reflection and toward practical next steps. Participants are invited to share insights from their respective fields, explore opportunities for alignment, and identify concrete actions that can inform future research, policy engagement, or community-based practice. Through these conversations, the roundtables aim to generate actionable recommendations for the issue being discussed.
Submissions for the IFC-2026 will be opening very soon. Until then, please make sure to review the Submission Guidelines .
