The Devolution Conference, 2025, themed: For the People; For Prosperity: Devolution as a Catalyst for Equity, Inclusion and Social Justice ignites a dynamic space to examine devolution as a governance tool in tackling inequalities and consequently enhancing social justice.

One such challenge is inadequate allocation of resources to address inequalities, marginalisation and poverty in all their manifestations.
