"The United Nations
once dealt only with Governments. By now
we know that peace and prosperity cannot
be achieved without partnerships involving
governments, international organizations,
the business community and civil society.
In today's world, we depend on each other."
–Kofi
Annan, UN Secretary-General
The UN Foundation develops and brokers innovative
partnerships in support of the United Nations
and its causes. Our focus is on crafting partnerships
that enable actors to leverage their capacities
and resources to accomplish more together
than they might on their own.
There are a number
of benefits of partnering with the UN Foundation,
including:
A platform
for global action: The UN Foundation
leverages its convening power and relationship
with the United Nations to build relationships
and partnerships throughout the UN system;
Leveraged
funds: Many times, the UN Foundation
contributes matching or parallel funding
in support of the partnership.
Reporting
and evaluation: On top of the
oversight and stewardship of UN Agencies,
the UN Foundation is committed to providing
oversight and evaluations of its activities;
Cost efficiency:
Zero UN Foundation overhead and
reduced administrative charges for project
management; and,
Experience
and expertise—Access to
the expert program capacity of the UN
Foundation, our UN counterparts and the
in-country supporting infrastructure of
the UN system;
Collaborative partnerships
involving the United Nations, the private
sector, non-governmental organizations and
foundations are having an impact that no
actor could achieve working alone. We invite
you to consider forging a partnership with
the UN Foundation, and make a smart investment
in a better world.
