Funders’ Roundtable on the Future of Development

“With crisis comes opportunity. For philanthropy, that opportunity is to stand with the Global South to shift the development landscape to one that centers their agency and intrinsic dignity.”

“We must come together across divides, turning this moment into an opportunity to reimagine and create the systems and the institutions we need to ensure a more just and equitable world where people and nature flourish.” 

“I urge international grantmakers to help build a new and more effective development and humanitarian system, build for the challenges and capabilities of the 21st century. We can also help make sure that local actors have a leading role in writing this new chapter.”
