Geneva Dialogue

This workshop, organized in collaboration with the Global Health Programme at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies and the Global Partnerships Forum, is one in a series of “Geneva Dialogues” spearheaded by the Novartis Foundation for Sustainable Development (NFSD) on global health issues. It aims to bring together different stakeholders to discuss the potential of partnerships to contribute to the achievement of the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.

Experts will present different views and learnings on partnerships and discuss the following questions:

- Which kind of partnerships have proven to be successful and have had the biggest impact on healthcare?
- Which partnerships have failed and why?
- Under what conditions do partnerships work?
- What obstacles can impede collaboration?
