Global Engagement Forum Handbook

NOVEMBER 10-12, 2015 WASHINGTON, DC

#SDGForum

The Global Engagement Forum is produly presented by:

PYXERA Global

In September 2015, the United Nations formalized the Sustainable Development Goals, which provide a foundation for action to solve some of the world’s most difficult challenges. At PYXERA Global, we see this as a tremendous opportunity to harness the capabilities of the private, public, and social sectors, catalyzing and accelerating action to make progress against these ambitious goals.

Thank you for being among those committed to this audacious mission. We hope the next three days provide the opportunity for reflection, connection, integration, and ultimately action that will join us all in commitment to move the Global Goals from aspiration to achievement.

The Importance of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Achieving the SDGs

The new Sustainable Development Goals provide a comprehensive list of the many challenges that must be addressed if we are to move toward a more sustainable world in the years ahead. But how can we capture the attention and investment of the private sector in helping to drive this process? This talk reframes the SDGs as business opportunities and describes how corporations and new ventures might help solve the world’s problems in the process.

Kofi KoomsonTechnical Team Lead, Ghana Supply Chain Development Program, PYXERA Global

In almost every economy on earth, small business and entrepreneurs are the true drivers of broad economic growth and opportunity. Building the capacity of these businesses and encouraging entrepreneurship to better serve global supply chains will go a long way to addressing the global employment crisis, will build much needed tax revenue and will create a path forward for youth and other underserved groups. However, in many emerging markets these businesses are unable to successfully engage with major buyers of their products and services due to a lack of internal capacity, a poor understanding of the bid and proposal process, and limited access to much needed financing options. In this panel we will explore ways to bring local business into multinational supply chains, what needs to be done to increase their abilities to meet the stringent requirements of larger buyers, and what risks and opportunities exist in broadening supply chains away from traditional sources and to create entry points for youth and other underrepresented populations.

Breakout + Discuss: Roundtable Discussions on SDG Enablers & Goals

11:00 AM - 12:15 PMJoin one of nine discussions on enablers and focus areas of the SDGs, convened by field experts:

NOV. 11

Roundtable 1: Employment & Economic OpportunityRoom 702

ConvenerMichael LevettSenior Advisor, CSIS

Featured Voice: Anthea RossouwDreamCatcher South Africa

1. What have we learned so far? What have been the most effective drivers of the successful examples of moving beyond aspiration and achieving the Economic Opportunity & Employment Goals, even in more limited settings? While innovations continue to drive some change, can we achieve more, and more easily, through replication rather than always demanding innovation?

2. How do we keep the ‘circle’ regarding Economic Opportunity and Employment goals connected to the rest of the goals? History is rife with example of how economic opportunity and employment are at the expense of human rights, health, and the environment.

3. The major shift in the past 20 years in “development” funding – from public sector Official Development Assistance (ODA) to private sector Foreign Direct Investing (FDI) – has put far more financing into economic development than health or education, but does it meet Goal 8? Does “Impact investing” hold the promise of providing both the scale of investment needed to close the ODA-FDI “gap” and allow us to hit the goals?

4. The solutions are too great and too overlapping to not require flexible, coalitions of actors and activity with fluidity in who leads, who supports, who designs, etc. How can we leverage the power of brand to build a coalition of activity, which builds on each other, rather than competing? How can actors set aside—or share appropriately--claims of credit that reinforces the collaboration required?


Roundtable 2: Funding & Resources Room 704

ConvenerDavid Wilcox | @ReachScale CEO, ReachScale

1. The Sustainable Development Goals were ratified during the UN Opening Week. Wherever you were in the world that week, what was your impression for the way the SDGs were presented? What did you think was the main point of focus? From your perspective, what did we learn from the Millennium Development Goals—that is being carried over to the SDGs?

2. From a funding perspective, how do we make the Global Goals sustainable?

• Substituting Sustainable Models for Unsustainable Models?

• Tapping underutilized resources?

• Leveraging talent and technology?

• Other?

3. What innovations & resources have the capability to drive scale and impact—from both corporations and social enterprises?

• Inclusive business impact and limits?

• Leadership for resources, scale and impact?

• Sustainable innovations that lead to scale and impact?

• Sustainable model labs?

• Advocacy?

4. What are the key roadblocks to keep resources flowing?

• What are the largest resource pools?

• What are the most accessible resource pools?

• Who is sitting on the most resources?

• Where is the money being lost (or stuck)?


Roundtable 3: HealthRoom 709.1

ConvenerCate O’Kane | @Cate13Director, Corporate Partnerships and Philanthropy, PSI

1. Health Systems Strengthening: In many parts of the world today, those with money can protect their health by paying for private insurance and health care as needed. Poor people are often left unprepared. When they do need care, making out-of-pocket payments may mean making choices between food, schooling or other basic necessities. In the worst cases, the cost of health expenses can push a poor family to financial ruin. What financing reforms are needed for poor people so that universal health care addresses who needs care the most—the poor, women, and children?

2. Nutrition: Given that there are currently ~161 million children <5yrs who are stunted, and another 42 million who are overweight or obese, the goal of ending hunger and achieving improved nutrition for the next generation is an ambitious one. Poverty is one of the key causes, however evidence shows that food security is often not enough. How can we ensure that progress on nutrition remains linked with progress on poverty, but that it does not stop until there is adequate, appropriate nutrition and food security?

3. Sanitation: We largely missed the target for sanitation for the Millennium Development Goals, and yet the Sustainable Development Goal targets are even more ambitious, especially considering that shared or community sanitation facilities are not considered ‘improved sanitation’ under the new SDG guidelines. What are the consequences for missing the original goals? How will these higher goals be more effective? What innovation is required, where in many urban areas, there is neither the space nor money for household toilets?

4. Partnership: Achieving the SDGs at the scale and speed needed requires strong partnership and coordination between many stakeholders, including the public and private sectors and civil society. One partnership model, shared value, is gaining traction. Do you think this approach can help us achieve the health SDGs? Why or why not?

NOV. 11

Roundtable 4: PartnershipRoom 709.2

ConvenerDeirdre White | @deirdrewhiteCEO, PYXERA Global

Featured Voice: Lindy Bishop | @seedstudiogalUtopia Foundation

1. Why should we care about partnerships and the Sustainable Development Goals?

2. When is partnership required? How do you know partnership is required?

3. What is the appropriate expectation from the players in the various sectors? What is reasonable to expect people to bring to the party? What are some of the ‘tripping points’?

4. Is it ok to have different goals and objectives as long as they aren’t at cross-purposes? How do you find common ground when you don’t have common goals?

Roundtable 5: VolunteerismRoom 705

ConvenerScott Beale | @sbatlasCEO, Atlas Corps

Featured Voice: Deb AsuncionUtopia Foundation

1. What are the most innovative models you have seen to use volunteers to advance the Global Goals? What are the bright spots in the sector?

2. The medical profession has an oath of “First, do no harm.” Does the international volunteerism sector have this same mindset? Do we properly account for unintended consequences?

3. Some dismiss volunteerism programs as making a bigger difference with the volunteer than with the community. Are the critics right? Are we confident these models make a bigger difference on the global goals or the people doing the volunteering?

4. Harris Wofford, the architect of the Peace Corps, has said we need a quantum leap in international volunteerism. What are the barriers to this quantum leap? Where are the opportunities the community should embrace?


Roundtable 6: Human RightsMain room

ConvenerAlyse Nelson | @AlyseNelsonPresident & CEO - Vital Voices

Featured Voice: Seth Kaplan | @fragile_statesProfessor, SAIS, Johns Hopkins University

Elizabeth Crowell | @egcrowell BPeace

1. Goal #5 represents half the world’s population-achieve gender equity and empower all women and girls. What are some of the most effective models or examples with which you are familiar to advance this goal? What can we learn from these models which may be replicable, scalable? How have you seen that the empowerment of women leads to greater economic growth and opportunity for all?

2. Goal #16 speaks to the need for access to justice and accountable institutions at all levels. While it’s obvious why this is important to peaceful societies, why is this critical to sustainable development?

3. What are some effective interventions that address barriers to justice and promote inclusive development and poverty reduction, especially in fragile states? How do you navigate cultural practices and traditions potentially over-riding justice and institutions?

4. How can the private sector contribute to effectively advancing these important goals? What cross-sector partnerships have been demonstrably effective? What lessons can be learned to replicate and scale both internally and externally in the communities in which companies operate?

5. When there is no effective public governance, what can private sector and social sector organizations do to be most effective? What risks have you observed when security is essentially privatized?

NOV. 11

Roundtable 7: Intrapreneurship & InnovationRoom 802

ConvenerMilan SamaniFounder, The Intrapreneur Lab

Featured Voice: Mark ThainBarclays

1. What is intrapreneurship?

2. What are some promising examples of intrapreneurs driving the convergence of corporate innovation and social impact?

3. From a company’s perspective, why are intrapreneurs important in driving business growth and impact?

4. What are companies doing to better harness intrapreneurs to drive innovation, strategic growth and social impact? How do these align and support the Global Goals?


Roundtable 8: Human & Natural EnvironmentRoom 806

ConvenerGlenn PrickettChief External Affairs Officer, The Nature Conservancy

1. Population growth, rising living standards, and urbanization will require massive investments in new infrastructure for energy, water, and transportation. Meeting these needs sustainably—in economic, environmental and social terms—is the challenge behind Goals 7 (energy), 9 (infrastructure), 11 (cities) and 12 (sustainable production & consumption). How is business positioned to benefit from the economic opportunities these goals offer? Are there risks to current business models as societies pursue more sustainable approaches?

2. Goal 13—”take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”—has become a global political and business priority in its own right. Sources of greenhouse gasses and opportunities to reduce them span a wide range of sectors: energy, transportation, industry, buildings, agriculture, forestry, and more. Climate change will affect an even wider range of industries. What climate actions do you note that companies are taking? Should take? What impact does this have on business strategy and models as societies take action?

3. Nature is valuable in its own right, but it also provides benefits to people, including clean water, clean air, resilience to extreme weather, and other “ecosystem services.” Goals 14 (oceans) and 15 (terrestrial ecosystems) can enhance the economic benefits of nature to society. What opportunities do they create for business? How can the value of nature be incorporated in business decisions?

4. Success in meeting all of the Goals will require innovative partnerships between business, government and civil society. How is your company or organization pursuing partnerships for sustainable development? Can you share any particular successes or challenges that your company or organization has encountered in working with non-traditional partners?

NOV. 11


Roundtable 9: Leadership & MindsetRoom 807

Convener

Harris GinsbergManaging Principal and Founder, HRG Consulting

Featured Voice:

Matt Mayberry | @mattjmayberryPresident, Whole Works

1. Within your organization’s global growth strategy, what do you see as competitive advantages for your enterprise to contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?

Workshop 1Global Pro Bono: Capturing Business Insights and Successful Participant ReintegrationRoom 702

Amanda MacArthurVice President, Global Pro Bono PYXERA Global @AMacA_DC

Gavin CepelakSenior Director, Global Pro Bono PYXERA Global @GavinCepelak

Global Pro Bono (aka International Corporate Volunteerism) is increasingly recognized as a way for companies to engage their “best and brightest” employees in an experiential learning opportunity that develops their personal and professional talents while adressing complex development issues around the world and building the capacity of social impact organizations. At the same time, companies benefit from improved, authentic reputations in corporate social responsibility and have the potential to gain new insights to inform their business strategies. However, global pro bono has not yet proven itself to be as transformational on the business as we believe it has the potential to be.

Join PYXERA Global’s Amanda MacArthur, Vice President, Global Pro Bono and Gavin Cepelak, Senior Director of Global Pro Bono for a workshop to discover how to effectively reintegrate both participants and their discoveries to maximize the impact and return of these programs both internally and externally.

Capturing Business Insights throughout the Global Pro Bono Life Cycle

Global Pro Bono provides a mechanism for the private sector to invest their human capital to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges while simultaneously engaging high-potential employees in an experiential learning opportunity. To create true ROI, and therefore ensure programs are not only sustainable but are also scalable, the learnings drawn from the participant experience need to be directly linked to the capture of business insights.

Capturing business insights begins at the program design stage and carries on throughout the program life cycle. Begin by answering the following questions:

• What are your company’s pressing strategic priorities?

• Who are the internal strategic and tactical partners that need to be actively engaged with the program?

• What are the “focusing questions” that global pro bono participants can consider during their assignment that might lead to insights?

• What needs to happen for insights to be captured and transmitted to the appropriate people internal to the organization?

• Does your company have any existing systems/activities in place that can be adapted to assist in reintegration or capturing business insights from GPB assignments?

Workshop 2Drive Impact with New Markets & IntrapreneurshipRoom 704

Milan SamaniFounder, The Intrapreneur Lab

Brian KurtzThe Intrapreneur Lab

The world’s greatest challenges also provide the greatest opportunities—especially for those individuals who are insightful enough to identify the needs and by thinking innovatively and managing strategically, find a way to make things happen. Intrapreneurs work within large companies, creating projects that make a profit and create social impact. In this workshop, Milan Samani and Brian Kurtz will introduce participants to the approaches and tools for effective intrapreneurship.


Workshop 3Align CSR to Stakeholders & Business for Strategic ImpactRoom 709.1

Aman SinghVice President of Business + Social Purpose, Edelmen @AmanSinghCSR

How is a CSR program born? Was it a CEO’s pet project? Did it come from an employee survey? Or a local community forum? Or perhaps a shareholder resolution? Tracing the journey of a CSR program can have deep impact on its life and sustainability. While pet projects tend to whither away with management changes, employee-driven programs tend to be living things, evolving and narrowing as demographics change. On the other hand, if CSR programs come to life through a materiality assessment, they very quickly become closely tied with operational and business strategy. Not to mention longer lifespans and critical measurement metrics synergistic with frameworks like the circular economy and shared value.

After all, if your CSR efforts don’t align with your organization’s reason to exist, why bother?

In an interactive workshop facilitated by Aman Singh, a seasoned CSR and sustainability journalist and currently a VP in Edelman’s Business + Social Purpose practice along with Matt Mayberry, WholeWorks Consulting, we will join brains and hearts to discuss what drives the life of a CSR program and what role tools like materiality assessments can play in their effectiveness.


DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

What PAID channels would work for your corporate citizenship news?

EARNED media coverage about your corporate citizenship news is likely in which outlets?

Who are the influencers that have SHARED the content your organization created?

What OWNED media assets is your organization producing to tell your corporate citizenship stories?

Workshop 6Practical Techniques for Impact MeasurementRoom 806

Farron LevyPresident, True Impact

Measurement can prove the value of your CSR programs, guide investment decisions, and drive continuous improvement. But how to do it with limited resources (time, expertise, or budget)?

In this session, led by Farron Levy of True Impact, you will learn practical strategies embraced by sector-leading funders and providers for what, how, and when to measure – and how to claim results. We will conclude by workshopping attendees’ individual measurement challenges and completing an action plan framework.

NOV. 11

Practical Techniques for Impact Measurement

1. What to measure Investor metrics vs. managerial metrics (outcomes, cost per outcome)

2. How to measure Best available data (tracked, estimated, speculative)

3. When to measure ASAP (prevent fires!) (embed in planning, applications, systems)

4. How much to claim 3-‐Tier Structure (funded, enabled, catalyzed)

Workshop 7 Developing Communities through an Integrated ApproachRoom 807

Maggie DeLormeProgram Manager, PYXERA Global @MaggieDeLorme

Harry PastuszekVice President, Enterprise & Community Development @PYXERAGlobal

In this workshop, explore the process of integrated community development from needs assessment, to design, to implementation, through to meaningful impact monitoring and evaluation. Join Harry Pastuszek and Maggie DeLorme of PYXERA Global as they describe the scalable and replicable approach taken over the last three years as part of the Joint Initiative for Village Advancement (JIVA) Program (in three rural villages in Rajasthan, India). This 2015 CECP Director’s Award winner, carried out in partnership with the John Deere Foundation, sets a high bar regarding integration in community development - and was built on the back of pro bono efforts carried out by John Deere staff.

The workshop will include a review of the full process used to establish the JIVA program and will equip participants with lessons from the field to inspire their own plans for meaningful community development. Building blocks include:

• Conducting a needs assessment from a full systems perspective to ensure programming addresses issues of importance to the community broadly - embedding sustainability from the start;

• Designing and developing integrated programs for the highest level of local ownership;

• Building monitoring and evaluation into the program from day #1 to ensure the most effective resource deployment and to enable course correction to achieve greatest impact.

Partners in lasting solutions

Since 1948, Direct Relief International has helped people in need. In 2011, the organization provided more than $364 million in material assistance to 74 countries.

Working to improve healthcare facilities in Ghana since 1991, Direct Relief has supplied more than $6 million worth of medicine, medical supplies and equipment. For more information, please visit

1 FORTUNE® Magazine, March 2015 Please visit www.bd.com BD and BD logo are trademarks of Becton, Dickinson and Company. © 2015 BD

In Ghana, diseases like malaria, guinea worm and HIV/AIDS greatly challenge the country’s healthcare system. A lack of medical resources limits patient care and undermines efforts in preventive medicine, particularly in rural areas.

BD partnered with Direct Relief International’s affiliates in Ghana to enhance health services in three regions. Focusing on some of the most pressing concerns, volunteers built a new laboratory and clinic, provided medical services, educated residents on HIV/AIDS prevention, and installed latrines and water filters.

Through these projects, BD volunteers helped the communities achieve better access to medical services and clean water—essentials for good health. By training local practitioners on safer procedures, they addressed a requisite of quality care and helped ensure that improved service could continue long after they departed.

Named one of the World’s Most Admired Companies®1, BD provides advanced medical technology to serve the global community’s greatest needs.

BD – Helping all people live healthy lives.

Congratulations to Pyxera on 25 years of wonderful work!

David Wilcox | @ReachScale

CEO, ReachScale

end extreme poverty, promote prosperity for all, and protect the environment for the next 15

years. We need your support to make these goals a reality. Join us. www.unfoundation.org

to defeat extreme poverty.

THE LAST GENERATION

to be threatened by climate change.

THE MOST DETERMINED GENERATION

Connecting you with the United Nations

Let’s be...

In September 2015, the United Nations formalized the Sustainable Development Goals, which provide a foundation for action to solve some of the world’s most difficult challenges.

At PYXERA Global, we see this as a tremendous opportunity to harness the capabilities of the private, public, and social sector, catalyzing and accelerating action to make progress against these goals. The Global Engagement Forum provides an opportunity for leaders and organizations from across the three sectors to discuss how best to partner and move from aspiration to achievement.
