How We Solved This: Focussing International Impact
Canada will host the G7 Summit in 2025. When we hosted the same summit in 2010, government and civil society leaders of the day managed to prioritize one set of issues to mobilize the full weight of international political will and development assistance. The G8 Muskoka Initiative on Maternal, Newborn and Child Health impacted the lives of millions of women as a result.
To understand how government and civil society worked together to achieve an unprecedented degree of focus, we interview former CIDA President Margaret Biggs and former Plan International CEO Rosemary McCarney. Together they tell the unlikely story of how a team that encompassed the political level, the public service and civil society came together to bring focus when Canada's opportunity to lead came.

In this first episode, public policy innovator Ben Rowswell interviews Rodney Ghali on how Canada achieved virtually the highest vaccination rates in the liberal democratic world in spite of deepening distrust of government. As Assistant Secretary to Cabinet in the Privy Council Office, Ghali oversaw a team of behavioural scientists to adapt the vaccination rollout to a society whose fundamental beliefs are now shaped online.
