About the event: 

Implementing solutions for today’s most challenging development problems requires strong institutions which can deliver crucial services in a consistent, efficient and sustainable manner. However, the interests and needs of funders and NGOs are often at odds, leading to unintended tensions.

The International Innovation Corps engaged in a panel discussion about how to ensure strong institutions through strategic philanthropy and to advocate for prioritization of organizational development.
