On specific topics, like human rights economy, tax justice, etc

information sharing/cross-cutting

2024-12-12 14:30:57 UTC

who is working on what

Idea: Resource center on ESC rights

2024-12-12 14:31:05 UTC

Resource center on interpretation of ESC and their application, but also on data and methodology for working on ESC rights.

Both physical webpage + message board but also space for researchers to come together to share.

breaking down into subgroups

2024-12-12 14:31:29 UTC

space to have more in-depth conversations re advocacy targets, strategy, etc

Challenge: How does the hub serve the breadth of projects across the organization? Or should it?

2024-12-12 14:34:24 UTC

Work across departments works well when there is a clear objective for that collaboration (e.g. work on land mines, communal violence post-Soviet collapse) - shared visions create more impact and synergy.

Test ideas for projects and get feedback up front

2024-12-12 14:37:32 UTC

Development and other messaging

2024-12-12 14:37:33 UTC

integrating and developing messaging on this work to keep donors engaged following the US elections and other similar political moments - to enable us to be reactive, nimble, and opportunistic about building consensus in moments that are available to the public psyche and not only focused on long-term strategy

Hub should be a place to educate staff

2024-12-12 14:39:49 UTC

Make this material accessible to people who haven’t worked on it.

We need to help staff understand a lens, or various lenses, to look at policy and comment.

Up-skilling and ensuring everyone has a baseline understanding of the goal

2024-12-12 14:39:54 UTC

A place to breakdown challenges among peers

2024-12-12 14:40:56 UTC

Idea: Vision for HRW added value in this space.

2024-12-12 14:41:46 UTC

What are the trends in the ESC space? What is our added value? What is a positive vision for the type of work we cando? Creating space for those kinds of conversations that can generate ideas for research grounded in our added value and our trends?

Educating staff on strategy

2024-12-12 14:41:47 UTC

For example, in less developed countries where there is already a scarcity of resources and people are already vulnerable from inequality, how can they do advocacy on this when there are so many issues.

Streamline project finalisation

2024-12-12 14:41:53 UTC

Meth lab

2024-12-12 14:41:56 UTC

The culture and values are important to ensure open discussions

2024-12-12 14:42:36 UTC

Wholistic discussions that are not just project specific

2024-12-12 14:43:36 UTC

Site of learning for those not expert

2024-12-12 14:44:05 UTC

Messaging

2024-12-12 14:44:13 UTC

How do we approach human rights issues that institutionally have not been previously considered human rights issues (e.g. recessions, debt crises, etc), as well as following right-wing so-called populist electoral wins

Be a thought leader on ESC rights and be a bridge between economists & the human rights movement and make a more mainstream connection.

2024-12-12 14:44:14 UTC

In order to do this, we would need to upskill our staff and make it a central issue in our work.

Focusing on opportunities to influence change not just projects

2024-12-12 14:44:50 UTC

Develop cohesive narratives on Goal #2 to support fund raising strategies

2024-12-12 14:45:19 UTC

Create narrative change around ESC rights - use language that is more accessible and use pragmatic arguments to convince policy makers as opposed to value-based human rights arguments that do not resonate

2024-12-12 14:47:01 UTC

Two-way exchange between colleagues in different divisions working on Goal #2

2024-12-12 14:47:12 UTC

Idea: Visually mapping projects across the hub objectives.

2024-12-12 14:47:50 UTC

Create a Venn diagram mapping the projects across the organization to see where they fit within the different objectives of the Hub, and then consider how that existing work fits with a future vision/added value.

Look at the changing world order from states to companies with the advent of Tech/AI

2024-12-12 14:48:38 UTC

Keep the Goal #2 list serve active to stimulate thinking/discussion
