Global Philanthropy Forum

To operate effectively in a complex and rapidly changing world, philanthropic, development and private sector organizations are recognizing their own comparative advantages, and partnering to build on the strengths of others. Jumping off from insights gained at the recent Bellagio Initiative on the Future of Philanthropy and Development as well as well as their deep experience, panelists with deep expertise will share their views on how innovative partnerships based in systems thinking have the potential to identify breakthrough solutions and take them to scale. Panelists come from the UN system, The World Bank, civil society and the foundation world, and will delve into specific achievements gained through cross-sectoral collaboration and more responsive development and philanthropic efforts.Jennifer Barsky, Partnerships Coordinator, International Finance CorporationNyaradzayi Gumbonzvanda, General Secretary, World YWCARomesh Muttukumaru, Deputy Assistant Administrator, Partnerships Bureau, UNDP Heather Gra
