Better Together


The Better Together platform aims to capture and inspire action by companies to work with government, civil society and communities across the world. The platform is also a chance to identify and address challenges of collaboration and collective action during the coronavirus pandemic.

Collective action across borders, but also at community level, will be key to rebuilding societies hit by the implications of this pandemic. COVID-19 has shown the limits of national action, the value of cross-thinking and co-operation at the international level, but the importance of working with communities to confront this challenge.

Better Together focuses on partnerships and alliances between companies and other groups at community level which aim to deliver protection and resilience. It is a platform to share experiences, learn lessons, and encourage constructive co-operation at the local level.

Help us to document rapid and novel solutions to address the many implications of the crisis and how companies can work with others to rebuild human security.
