The OECD Network of Foundations Working for Development (netFWD), the OECD Centre on Philanthropy, and the OECD International Network on Conflict and Fragility (INCAF) are pleased to invite you to the online policy dialogue on Philanthropy in Fragile and Conflict-affected Settings that will take place on May 12^th, 2022, 16h00-17h30 CET.

This closed-door online discussion will bring together leaders in philanthropy, Official Development Assistance (ODA) donors and development experts to share lessons, good practice and pioneering approaches on how philanthropy can be more effective in fragile contexts, and better aligned and coordinated with the ODA communities and host governments.

The discussion will explore:

• Country ownership: what does it mean for philanthropy to align with national development priorities when state institutions are weak, lack capacity and might have lost legitimacy from the population?
• Focus on results: how can foundations show results in an environment where data is lacking in many areas? How can they innovate and learn?
• Inclusive partnerships: What is the complementarity of philanthropy vis-à-vis other national and international development providers? And how can meaningful collaboration be created?
• Transparency and Mutual Accountability: Accountability to who at the country level?

Confirmed speakers include:

• Frederik Matthys, Head of Global Partnerships and Policies at the OECD Development

Co-operation Directorate

• Bathylle Missika, Head of Division, Networks, Partnerships and Gender, OECD Development Centre
• Anita Anastacio, Initiative Lead (Director), The LEGO Foundation
• Matthew Reed, Global Director of Institutional Partnerships at Aga Khan Foundation UK
• Andrew Cunningham, Global Lead for Education at Aga Khan Foundation
