Opening remarks were given by Ms. Joanne Charette, Vice-President, Corporate Strategy and Communications and Mr. Arjan de Haan, program leader, faciliated the discussion.

The event is part of a multi-year collaboration between IDRC and the Forum to reshape the way donors, civil society, local governments, and the private sector work together. By documenting and promoting both successful and less successful inclusive development practices, the collaboration aims to steer the world’s growth-oriented development strategies in the most effective directions. It will showcase policy models, corporate partnerships, and multi-stakeholder partnerships for inclusive development in a practical, searchable, and digital knowledge bank.
