Key Takeaways:

  • Public private partnerships are the wave of the future and we will see them increase ten to a hundred fold in the next decade or two. Governments around the world are increasing funding for partnerships, providing partnership opportunities for corporations.
  • We do development around the world because we have visited and seen a world out there that needs our help, our assistance, our ideas. It is an extraordinary time when you as a company or as a foundation are able to help others who are in need.
  • The best public private partnerships and the best philanthropic programs come when they have a reason to continue, to be sustained, year after year. They must be aligned with a corporate interest and integrated into the business strategy.
