Description
Now in its thirteenth year, the theme of our 2019 conference is Innovating for Sustainable Development. It aims to provide diverse perspectives on the important role of innovation in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Achieving these goals by 2030 will require a massive and sustained investment, and it is unlikely that traditional international development institutions will be able to meet this on their own. However, new technologies and innovative program designs have dramatically lowered the cost of providing some basic health services, improved the speed and efficiency of humanitarian assistance, and increased accountability for citizens around the world. Our conference hopes to explore the unique roles that private sector, government, and NGOs play in this ever-changing landscape.
