Listening Better, Acting Faster: How technology and collaborative action can improve community outcomes
In a world more complex than ever with a demanding fundraising environment, philanthropic leaders and practitioners must keep adapting to meet the moment and the rising needs of the communities we serve. Against this new reality, it is clear no single institution can solve the challenges on their own; instead, the future of impact depends on stronger collaboration across sectors.
This event will make the case to expand funding to projects and programs that focus on cross-sector collaboration that bring together philanthropy, governments, businesses, and communities. It will also explore how AI and data can help these partnerships learn faster, identify emerging needs, and scale effective solutions.
Join us alongside leaders from philanthropy, multilateral institutions, academia and civil society, who will share practical lessons from successful initiatives and identify ways to transform these insights into actionable strategies.
Key Discussion Topics:
Create a platform learn from each other: Enable governments, philanthropy, markets and communities to share insights and respond to the needs on the ground
Fund cross-sector projects: Finance projects that bring together different players to experiment with solutions and scale what works
Use AI as a tool: Leverage AI to gather program impact, generate timely insights, and make faster and informed decisions that adapt to the needs of the community
