Abstract
The past two decades saw a proliferation of opportunities for the perspectives of people experiencing poverty and marginalisation to input into global policymaking spaces. So far these efforts have been contested, with attempts to embed participatory methodologies facilitating only limited consultation and falling into many pitfalls. While Participate was built on learning from previous attempts to influence global policy, we aimed to further understand participatory processes, and advance practical mechanisms for participation at every level of decision-making, from local to national and global. Participate emphasises the interactions between these levels and the importance of impacting multiple levels in order to create lasting, transformative change. This chapter describes what has been learnt about bringing the voices on the ground into global policymaking. We examine how and by whom the knowledge and evidence created were used, and the barriers and challenges to embedding this knowledge into global policy processes, through the following questions: • What have been the challenges to embedding participatory processes into global policy spaces? • What have these pathways of influence looked like, and what are some of the key lessons learned from these?
