Corporate Social Responsibility

Everybody is talking about: Corporate Social Responsibility - Multi Sector Partnerships - Sustainable Development

The Global Knowledge Partnership Foundation, (GKPF), is not just talking about it, GKPF is making it happen!

All stakeholders in the field of ICT4D and K4D need global networking opportunities and real Multi-Stakeholders Partnerships (MSPs) based on win/win situations in order to effectively execute their aims. The Global Knowledge Partnership Foundation, (GKPF), is a 12 year old internationally recognized multi stakeholder network with a distinguished and well established track record.

More than a Network!

GKPF’s 115 members bring together Public Sector, Private Sector and Civil Society Organizations with the goal of Sharing Knowledge and Building Partnerships in Knowledge and ICT for Development. But GKPF is not just a network; GKPF is proactively creating and implementing win/win situations that respond to the specific needs of the membership organizations. GKPF is living in the real world as GKPF understands that the global development needs can only be realistically achieved through real world solutions.

A network that understands and facilitates the needs of all Sectors

GKPF understands the needs, working mechanisms and language of the different sectors.

Product development, marketing and corporate social responsibility are different aspects of one unified corporate growth and development strategy. Social development goals can only be achieved when they are based on real economic parameters. Social development that is not based on real economic principles is not sustainable.

A Network of value added Opportunities

GKPF is creating and marketing opportunities through pooling visions, capacities, talents, resources and solutions:

Social needs of a government become private sector marketing opportunity through the capacities of national and international NGO’s.

An NGO’s vision becomes social development through private sector solutions.

Private sector solutions become profitable, because the cooperation with a NGO made them a key tool to achieve social development goals.

The private sector is reaching market segments, such as rural areas in developing countries which had been out of reach before.

A proactive Network

GKPF supports development practitioners and organizations directly by:

Facilitating peer-to-peer dialogue on issues and themes at regional and global level; help establish members‟ linkages for program/campaign specific partnerships;

It influences, leverages and creates synergies between members’ activities; facilitates linkages for mobilizing resources on their specific projects, programs or policy related work – while building coherence in strategies common to all members.

A network for Growth and Scale

GKPF launched and provides continuity and sustainability to initiatives through strong funding raising and technical assistance for programming, networking and fund-raising. GKPF actively promotes the project to potential donors at every appropriate opportunity and leads to increased funding for implementing the project for further Scaling up, Diffusion and Replication (SDR). GKPF has selected 12 member projects for Scaling-up, Dissemination and Replication (SDR) which will receive technical assistance and resource mobilization support. The value proposition will not only serve the 12 SDR projects directly. Not only are new SDR projects be approved for support on an ongoing basis, we will actively try to match up the other GKPF members with existing SDR projects and get them directly involved. GKPF will offer some successful projects from GKPF members to other GKPF members for duplication in their regions.

A network of Services

GKPF is marketing and delivering targeted professional advisory and consulting services, through members-primarily to developing country governments and corporate partners. Services to Members include technical assistance for programming, networking and fund-raising, all done in a collaborative and participative manner with GKPF 3.0 staff.
