🕖 6:30pm – 9:30pm
📍Value for Good, 3rd floor, Französische Straße 47, 10117
ℹ️Light food and beverages will be served
Increasing funding pressures are rapidly reshaping global development. Partnerships remain essential, but making them work today requires sharper alignment and clearer incentives. On 23rd April, we gather to explore this topic.
We are pleased to already welcome:
• Raluca Bunea, Director Strategy & Impact at Open Society Foundations
• Deepali Sood, Global Head at WomenX Collective & Office of the Executive Director at UNFPA
• Aparajita Ramakrishnan, Director, Family Planning at Gates Foundation
The full list of speakers will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Their perspectives will set the stage for discussion among attendees from government, philanthropy, multilaterals, NGOs, academia and the private sector.
The evening will combine moderated conversation with informal exchange over light food and drinks — creating space to share experiences and explore new perspectives together. It also brings our 10-year anniversary celebrations to a close and offers a moment to reflect on the work that lies ahead.
If you know someone in your network who would benefit from joining the conversation, please feel free to forward this event. Whilst we can’t guarantee a place immediately, we will do our best to accommodate.
In case of any questions, please reach out to Sandro via ssinistra@valueforgood.com.
