If your organization is trying to make decisions more collaboratively, build trust with a community, or create a group where people with lived experience have real influence, participatory governance can offer practical ways forward. Madeline Toubiana (University of Ottawa) and Natalie Eng (University of Alberta) will explore how grassroots governance models can help organizations and communities share decision-making, navigate power dynamics, and work together toward common goals.

This session also marks the starting point for developing a governance structure for the Financial Inclusion & Resilience Movement (FIRM) (part of the Partnerships for Financial Inclusion Project)
