Donor Collaboration For Issue Level Impact
Friday, April 16, 2010
Session Description
What happens when multiple donors, social entrepreneurs, government and civil society actors collaborate for impact? A groundbreaking initiative funded by AVINA and the Skoll Foundation is a live case study in the power of cross-sector, cross border collaboration. Our panellists – leading funders, experts in policy reform and indigenous land ownership, and innovators in satellite monitoring and data analysis – will discuss the ups and downs of crafting this integrated, multi-network approach and its effect on deforestation reduction and poverty alleviation in the Amazon region.
