OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES JOURNEYING TOGETHER Over the next five years (2026 – 2030), we will pursue these mutually reinforcing purposes by working on three Strategic Priorities in relation to each. The 2028 World Conference on Statelessness, taking place at the halfway point, will mark a key moment to take stock, engage in strategic dialogue, and adapt. We will continue to journey with stateless activists, leaders and their organisations. We will help them be more strategic, impactful and better connected; link up with intersecting social-justice movements; and better able to engage on their own terms. We will continue to incubate and support the GMAS and provide accompaniment support to grantee partners of the GSF LEARNING TOGETHER We will continue to learn together with partners and increase the breadth, depth and quality of our knowledge. We will strengthen evidence-based information, tools and resources – including by expanding the StatelessHub Knowledge Platform. We will curate learning spaces to pursue change, and evolve knowledge practices to centre impacted communities and support language justice. STRENGTHENING AND TRANSFORMING THE FIELD journeying together learning together resourcing the field 2028 THE WORLD CONFERENCE ON STATELESSNESS advocating for status & rights building a stronger justice ecosystem crafting narratives to challenge& inspire DRIVING CHANGE RESOURCING THE FIELD We will continue to support strengthening the flow of resources to the statelessness field, the equitable distribution of such resources, and to ensure that those directly impacted are prioritised for resourcing and related support. ADVOCATING FOR STATUS AND RIGHTS We will continue to advocate to challenge the manufacturing of statelessness and the denial of rights to stateless people, by engaging international spaces, advancing joined-up action and supporting advocacy initiatives of stateless leaders. BUILDING A STRONGER JUSTICE ECOSYSTEM Through these different approaches, we will directly engage with and support others with their work across key strategic and intersecting thematic areas. In the coming years, we will retain a particular focus on the nexus with child rights, as well as expanding our work on the impacts of technological advances on citizenship rights and efforts to address statelessness. We will also prioritise supporting partners in countries that we have strong track-records working on (such as Nepal, Kenya, the Dominican Republic and the Netherlands), and from communities disproportionately impacted by statelessness (such as Rohingya and Palestinians). Our most important strategic partnerships will continue to be with the Global Movement Against Statelessness (GMAS) and Global Statelessness Fund (GSF): two vital field infrastructures with transformative potential and reach. We will work to build a strategic, transnational legal infrastructure that reimagines how law can serve justice for stateless people. We will make legal support more accessible, community-centred, and transformative by co-creating solutions with stateless communities, legal practitioners, and allies. CRAFTING NARRATIVES TO CHALLENGE AND INSPIRE We will work to challenge negative narratives and stereotypes, examine how language can both exclude and empower, and find creative ways to speak truth to power alongside stateless people. Through storytelling and the arts, we will make the issue more accessible and inspire a positive vision of a human-centric as opposed to state-centric world. www.institutesi.org
