Jain Family Institute
Project Title
For a one-time project on mapping critical value chains as part of a Request for Proposals on Understanding the Forces Shaping the Global Order
Date
Sep. 12, 2024
Duration
24 months
Description
The Jain Family Institute (JFI) proposes to build and disseminate tools to map prospective and proposed global value chains central to the competition over strategic minerals between the U.S. and China. These tools will identify different viable configurations of these supply chains and quantify the distribution of potential benefits to low- and middle-income countries. JFI will build capacity to use these tools within developing and emerging economies and international financial institutions. It will publish public-facing articles and webinars to ensure that the tools, methodology, and findings are widely disseminated. It will also work directly with political and policy officials in the Global South, especially and initially in Brazil, where JFI has an extensive existing network, to refine these tools and outputs and place them in the hands of decisionmakers.

Duration
28 months
Description
The Berggruen Institute works across cultures, disciplines, and political boundaries to develop and promote long-term answers to some of the biggest challenges of the 21st Century as part of developing multilateral approaches to global problems. With this funding, it will develop a model for networking the procurement and financing policies of cities in different countries to seed new green industries in construction materials and transportation. It will use the model to create a set of guidelines for coordinating financing and industry development and convene mayors and purchasing officers through partner networks to disseminate the guidelines. Allowing cities to pool purchasing and borrowing power will lead to price reductions and encourage scaling new industries.
