People
Investing in the Commonwealth's greatest asset — its people. We champion skills, youth, women's enterprise, diaspora talent and the inclusion of those too often left out, including people with disabilities.
On the road to CHOGM 2026
Shared prosperity for a Commonwealth of 56 nations.
The Commonwealth Prosperity Initiative is a not-for-profit platform bringing together people, businesses, governments and institutions to turn Commonwealth partnership into real, inclusive growth.
Our three pillars
People. Partnership. Prosperity.
Everything we do starts with people, is delivered through partnership, and is measured by the prosperity it creates across the Commonwealth family.
Partnership
Building bridges between governments, businesses, investors and civil society. We convene dialogues, lead delegations and make the introductions that turn shared values into shared projects.
Prosperity
Unlocking trade and investment across member states — from clean energy and infrastructure to the digital economy and professional services — so that growth reaches every community.
About CPI
