COVID-19 Fourth Sector Response is a collaborative, multi-stakeholder effort to rise to the challenge of the COVID-19 crisis by harnessing the fourth sector of the economy to build a more resilient, inclusive and sustainable future.

This effort is driven by a diverse group of partners and allies, with a shared conviction that going back to business-as-usual after the pandemic is not an option. We welcome new ideas and new voices every step of the way — such as yours! Please join us.

The recent situation in Chile and the decades-long increase in poverty in Argentina, reaffirm the need for a new economy that can drive social, climate, and economic justice - the Impact Economy.

Fast-paced technological change and the emergence of the 4th Industrial Revolution are reshaping government in multiple areas including service delivery, policy making, public administration, public engagement and others. Future-proofing governments will entail embracing these trends to take advantage of the opportunities they create and to address the challenges they impose.

Join us for an inspiring moderated panel discussion on innovative partnerships with the private and forth sector that use public resources in ways that contribute to the realisation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The event will introduce the “Kampala Principles” for Effective Private Sector Engagement (PSE) in development co-operation, based on specific examples presented by different stakeholders. It will demonstrate how the principles can be applied in specific partnerships and what is needed to encourage others to follow suit and scale up such successful examples in different contexts and sectors.

​

The Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation (GPEDC) hosted its first Senior-Level Meeting on 13-14 July 2019, on the margins of the United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development in New York.
