Reimagining Government is a podcast where we shine a light on government changemakers around the world, who are pushing beyond the current debate about what government does, in order to address the more fundamental questions of how government should operate.

Each month these changemakers will share their ideas on how to reimagine a new government equipped to face modern challenges and find real solutions.
