GPW kicks off today with the full-day Global Partnership Practitioners Forum conference, held at the State Department in Washington, D.C.  At this event, practitioners from the U.S. government, foreign governments, NGOs, and the private sector come together to discuss best practices in building public-private partnerships to address global challenges. Other events and activities are being organized by outside organizations and individuals around the world to foster, support, and highlight the impact of cross-sector collaboration, as well as showcase potential partnership opportunities locally.  GPW events range from small networking gatherings to large scale events and workshops.  The 2015 events include a live online discussion hosted by Business Fights Poverty, the Fish 2.0 South Pacific Workshop in Fiji, an evening reception to open the USAID Regional Development Mission for Asia in Bangkok, and Sister Cities International’s 2015 Diplomatic Gala in Washington.  A full list of events can be found here.
