The Government Council for Social Innovation is a coalition of governments worldwide that has united with the primary goal of advancing social innovation on a global scale. Social innovation refers to the creation and implementation of new ideas, practices, or solutions that address societal challenges in ways that are more effective, sustainable, or just than current solutions.

This group recognizes that governments must play a central role in driving these innovations, especially when it comes to building a more equitable and sustainable future for all. The coalition is made up of government representatives who are directly involved in shaping national and international policies. These governments recognize the importance of social innovation in meeting complex global challenges like poverty, climate change, inequality, and social exclusion.
