Regions Refocus

Regions Refocus works in solidarity across movements, sectors, and regions to imagine and pursue progressive, feminist economic policy. They cultivate the necessary infrastructure by: convening progressive civil society, policymakers, academics, and activists to bridge their work; generating heterodox and feminist analysis with allies to reshape contemporary policy thinking; coordinating advocacy and amplifying the work of South allies in regional and global policy arenas; and building coalitions to sustain long-term work beyond fluctuations in funder priorities.
