Bridge Initiative est une ONG française dont le but est de favoriser le dialogue entre différents acteurs avec des vues contradictoires sur des questions de la mondialisation.

Elle crée et développe un espace neutre pour le dialogue en utilisant des outils innovateurs qui permettent à ceux qui sont engagés dans la discussion sur le futur de la mondialisation de participer à des réunions, des débats publics et des événements médiatiques.

As the year 2009 begins, the world faces severe and parallel crises -finance, food, climate, energy, and looming social tensions. Bridge Initiative International (BI) sees a unique prospect for a bold and unprecedented change process that cuts to the “heart” of long-standing issues around global governance.

This links to BI’s ongoing and truly bottom-up change approach (O-Change).

The process promises to open ways to address the core issues about the future of the public sphere in the twenty first century. This Action Plan results from years of BI work to mediate among stakeholders directly concerned about globalization. It takes its inspiration from a recent breakthrough with the CEB High-Level Committee on Programmes (a body of the international system that brings together all UN agencies and international financial institutions in a search for coordination and coherence).

This breakthrough is the outcome of seven years of mediation efforts and it immediately followed a quite constructive Bridge Initiative Plenary Event in May 2008 which paved the way for a more pro-active approach between stakeholders in a context where international institutions and governments had generally been playing down multi-stakeholder dialogue on issues and solutions.
