What we do

Aimed at fostering Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships to address social issues by moving beyond aid to economic empowerment, and attracting foreign direct investments to create long-term sustainability, the Global Partnerships Forum engages in the following areas to help make sustainable change happen:

1. Provide a Global Membership Network for organizations to share lessons learned, best practices and expertise.

2. Provide Strategic Advice on High-Impact Programs tailored to corporate missions, including: corporate governance, operational efficiency, partnerships training, and advocacy and outreach, moving from CSR to an investment model.

3. Host Global and Regional Summits that move from talk to action, centering on nation branding, multisectoral development and corporate leadership models.

4. Develop Regional and National Centers of Excellence and Investment Promotion Offices to attract foreign direct investment and social capital.
