Inequality and Exclusion
Across the world, people are demanding action to tackle the rising inequalities and divisions that erode our societies and undermine human progress. National policies and international cooperation demonstrate that together we can build just and equal societies.

The Pathfinders' Inequality and Exclusion program is a cross-regional alliance of countries, civil society, and multilateral partners seeking to identify practical, politically-viable solutions to combat inequality, exclusion, and divisions at the national and international level, and advocating for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda targets for more equitable and inclusive societies (SDG16+).
Global Alliance Against Inequality The Global Alliance is co-chaired by Sierra Leone and Czech Republic, with the support of Germany and seeks to establish a strong global political platform to address vertical and horizontal inequalities, with the ultimate goal of strengthening democracy, promoting respect for human rights, and fostering peaceful, just, and inclusive societies. It aims to promote a collaborative framework for addressing inequality through joint public events, actionable policy recommendations, and other initiatives in the lead-up to the completion of the 2030 Agenda. This initiative lays the groundwork for a robust post-2030 development agenda and builds upon more than five years of research, expertise, advocacy, and political mobilization by the Pathfinders.

Urbanization for the Few: Soaring Housing Inequality in Kinshasa
Providing adequate housing—whether in Kinshasa, Jakarta, or São Paulo—will be increasingly difficult unless the entrenched power dynamics that determine who matters, who belongs, and whose interests are served, is addressed. This paper contends that the future of urbanization and housing lies in understanding housing as a governance and justice issue, using Kinshasa as a case study.
