Implementation Strategy & Evaluation
From 2008-2020, Empowerment Works is dedicated to serving as a catalyst for collaboration of highly qualified partners to take part in The Global Summit’s successful implementation. At this point, The Global Summit will have transformed the face of international development from top down to mutually-supportive empowerment.
Through 12 years of monitoring commitments and real world impacts, The Global Summit will contribute vital information on multi-sector collaboration, civil society based governance and direct democracy – also known as Sociocracy.
By the end of 2020 The Global Summit will have fueled the full development of a new measurable, community leveraged, funding system "Synergy Funds/ Grants". Harnessing collective genius and delivering to where its needed most will be a new education system promoting ongoing, locally-led global social and economic partnership system united / supported by "1PIE.org".
What The Global Summit evolves into at the end of its initial project cycle 2020 will be determined by evaluation findings of what works best.
