The innovation hub promotes a multidisciplinary approach to combating complex global problems. Grounded in systems thinking and dynamics, the innovation hub explores system interdependencies, defining interventions that will influence the overall behaviour of the system. Too often, development agencies, donors and multilateral organisations only consider a narrow component of the problem to be corrected, leading to sub-standard results and impacts.
The innovation hub seeks to correct this imbalance by researching and guiding where funds would best be spent for greatest positive impact. Our research is based on a thorough and long-term analysis of interconnected factors combined with practical field research, existing literature, and coordination with key experts – academics, scientists, investigators, government officials and the private sector.
Case Studies
The Centre for Global Advancement has created a number of case studies focusing on wildlife crime, illegal logging and broader deforestation and illegal mining. The objectives of these cases are to highlight the legal avenues pursued and the financial investigations undertaken. Case studies will be periodically updated as they become available covering all environmental issues.
1. Falsification of CITES Permits - The Doumbouya Case
2. Pseudo-Hunting - The Xaysavang Network
3. Illegal Logging - The Chaimat Network
4. Deforestation and Illegal Gold Mining - The NTR Metals Case
