The
Partnerships program aims to create breakthrough solutions to global challenges
by assembling partnerships that transcend traditional social boundaries and
problem-solving methods. The program convenes people and institutions with the
resources, leverage and insight to collectively solve systemic problems at
scale; enables those people and institutions to think and act together;
unleashes the leadership and commitment needed for sustained effort by
connecting people to meaning and their highest purpose; translates ideas into
action on the ground by testing innovations and institutionalizing what works;
and builds collaboration among key leaders and institutions to enhance the
successful implementation of innovations.

India
, Synergos inspires, builds and supports inclusive partnerships
to address the underlying causes of poverty and social injustice.
With
so much abundance in the world, why are 800 million people malnourished? Why do
1.2 billion people live without safe drinking water? Why can 30 million
HIV-positive people not access treatment? Given the vast human, technical and
financial resources of our global community, why are lasting solutions to such
problems so elusive?
The
challenges posed by poverty and inequity around the world are too complex and
big for organizations and sectors to address on their own. Creating solutions
and taking to scale what works requires collaboration: creatively combining the
resources of government, the market knowledge of corporations, the social
connection of civil society and the participation of communities. Yet such
collaboration is neither easy nor commonplace.
