RPA, Ford and MasterCard Foundation Lead Committee for Post-2015 Partnership Platform for Philanthropy
Representatives from government and civil society will convene at an event in Bogota organized by the Post-2015 Partnership Platform for Philanthropy, a project launched last November by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Foundation Center, and a committee of leading foundations guided by Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA). The event is the second in a planned series of workshops to facilitate an exchange of knowledge and data and identify opportunities around how philanthropy can engage in the evolving global development landscape.
"I'm greatly encouraged by the Partnership, which will elevate key issues and lift up the voices of those most impacted by Post-2015 decisions," said Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation. "These workshops serve a valuable role to illuminate a workable path to disrupt inequality and enhance opportunities at national and global levels...."
