A New Era of Partnerships

On April 22, 2009, Secretary Clinton, told the Global Philanthropy Forum that “the State Department is opening its doors to a new generation of public-private partnerships."  The Global Partnership Initiative (GPI) leads the Secretary of State's endeavors to include a "greater cooperation among a greater number of actors and reducing competition, tilting the balance away from a multi-polar world and toward a multi-partner world." 

GPI works to address the administration's strategic priorities by acting as a platform that:

• Convenes: Bring together people to work on issues of common interest
• Catalyzes: Launch new projects, seek new solutions, provide vital training and technical assistance to spark project development
• Collaborates: Strives to maximize impact of partnerships to best serve people in need
