  18. Support for Public HealthKey Learnings from Experience • Companies can have positive impact across multiple intervention areas: - Outright philanthropy (cash and in-kind) - Institutional knowledge transfer, training, volunteerism - Sustainable access to existing products and technology - Development of new technologies specific to developing world needs • Strong collaboration skills are essential. Important for partners to have mutual trust and transparency regarding motivations. • Companies, even large ones, do not have unlimited amounts of discretionary funding available. Most will align funding to their areas of competency. • Causes most likely to attract funding will have clearly defined goals, measures, and ability to link impact directly to donor involvement. • Beyond recognition of social responsibility, private sector partners benefit from strong employee engagement around a higher sense of purpose.

  19. Support for Public HealthImproving Outcomes for Women and Girls • An intersection of human rights, public health and sustainable development • Actions can be highly leveraged; interventions have a positive multiplier effect • Requires progress across multiple parameters; advocacy, resource deployment, physical and financial structures, laws (formal and informal), cultural belief systems, social norms, inter and intra family relationships • Demonstrated in groundbreaking work of Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunis : - 100% school attendance, special scholarship program for girls - Separate sanitary facilities for girls in schools - Girls manufacture electronic parts for solar panels - Girls establish village health management centers - Micro-financing for women to own their own homes • Nike Foundation "Girls Count" Initiative another impressive example
