Philanthropic Foundations and Development Co-operation

This OECD report examines the contributions of philanthropic foundations to international development, particularly in agriculture, family planning, and disease control. It underscores the importance of long-term, scientifically informed interventions integrated with local capacities. With US foundations spending approximately $3 billion annually on development, the report emphasizes the vital role of public-private partnerships and advocates for improved coordination with official aid and fiscal incentives to maximize impact.
