In the past three years, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected different aspects of social development. National economies have been hit hard. The conflicts between fairness and efficiency, growth and distribution, technology and employment have become increasingly prominent, and the gap between rich and poor is still wide. How can the philanthropy sector escape the current predicament and achieve steady and sustainable development? What will be the new opportunities for local social organizations and INGOs under new policies such as common prosperity and the dual carbon goals? Here at CDB, we care more about solutions than problems, and we want to look at future opportunities rather than current difficulties and challenges.
To this end, the 2023 CDB Forum hosted by Beijing E-Share Civil Society Information Centre (China Development Brief, or CDB) will focus on “the new trends of China’s NGO sector in the post-pandemic era”, bringing together experts on the sector, overseas and local NGO professionals, CSR leaders of multinational companies and other observers to point out the new opportunities and innovative models of the sector from different perspectives (e.g. policy-makers, funders and social needs). One purpose of the forum is to boost the confidence of the sector and help overseas and local NGOs to continue to grow in the post-Covid era.
