What do we really know about trust? Exploring the drivers of trust in public institutions and future implications for UNDP

Dear colleagues,

Thanks for joining us on Thursday, 19 November for the fifth webinar in the Future of Governance consultation series: “What do we really know about trust? Exploring the drivers of trust in public institutions and future implications for UNDP”. We are pleased to share with you the recording to this session.

The aim of this webinar is to help make sense of trust, and mistrust, in public institutions. This will be achieved by interrogating assumptions and commonly held beliefs about trust and by exploring drivers of trust in different country contexts. The session also takeS stock of how trust is addressed in (and impacted by) UNDP programs – across service lines and priority areas - and exploreS what relevant lessons can, and should, be accounted for in programs moving forward. 

We thank Malin Herwig, Director, a.i., Oslo Governance Center, UNDP for moderating this insightful discussion.

Emanuele Sapienza, Policy Advisor, Governance, Regional Hub for Latin America and the Caribbean.

About the Future of Governance series

The Future of Governance consultation series is a three-month initiative aimed at exploring the state of social contracts in different settings. It is a convening space where the multitude of conversations on the future of governance across the organization can come together with the aim of building a shared narrative for UNDP’s governance priorities. The series allows for colleagues from across the organization, and invited external participants to discuss thematic questions, showcase insights and expertise and reflect on what has worked well (and what has not) throughout the current Strategic Plan.
