Establishing avenues for our community

Since 1986, the GCSP equips policy
and decision makers in governments,
international organisations, non-profit
organisations and the private sector with
the knowledge, skills and a network to
support their careers and their organisa-
tions. The GCSP Community Engagement
Office establishes avenues for members
of the community to be able to develop
their personal networks. It cultivates
a creative atmosphere where diverse
expertise can extend boundaries and
collaboratively shape solutions to the
world’s many challenges.
Armed with the knowledge and an innovative way of thinking, we can change
the world and make it a better place.
