Summary

The side-event will discuss concrete examples of how philanthropic and public resources could be further leveraged and deployed more efficiently to achieve the Post-2015 agenda faster and more cost-effectively. This “Davos-style” moderated panel, to be opened by Ms. Amina Mohammed, Special Advisor to Ban Ki-Moon on the Post-2015 Agenda (tbc), will bring together CEOs of prominent philanthropic actors, such as the African Grantmakers Network, the Children’s Investment Foundation Fund, Dasra, the Emirates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and others, together with Ministerial-level representatives from Kenya, Mexico, the Netherlands and Rwanda. These countries have been engaging with the philanthropic sector and will share their experience and views on how to improve collaboration between philanthropy and policy makers, in support of Financing for Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Discussions will notably stress that foundations are becoming increasingly pivotal to the Post-2015 agenda through innovative approaches such as venture philanthropy, their ability to test ideas and to develop new financing tools such as development impact bonds.
