Our Partners
Below is a selection of coperations, nonprofit organisations and public sector entities who have joined the Global Partnerships Forum.
IDP Foundation Inc.
The mission of the IDP Foundation, Inc. is to mobilize resources and strategic support to increase educational opportunities and other initiatives that we feel add value to education. We believe that education is the way to conquer the world’s greatest challenges. We believe that everyone on the planet should have equal access to education to provide hope and opportunity. We believe that a combination of smart philanthropy and investment can galvanize solutions to make that future a reality.
Exemplifying this goal is the IDP Rising Schools Program, a microfinance venture targeting existing but very poor private schools in Ghana. After a successful pilot with 105 schools, the program is scaling up by adding 1200 schools over the next four years.
The IDP Foundation, Inc. was granted special consultative status to the United Nations in July 2012.
Friendship Ambassador Foundation
Friendship Ambassadors Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization that creates and leads transformative cultural exchanges, youth leadership programming, and humanitarian ‘voluntourism’ projects – to build friendships, advance mutual understanding, and foster global peace through support for the MDGs.

In September 2011, the Global Partnerships Forum was honored to partner with the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media to host the ‘First Global Symposium on Gender in Media’ in New York.
Pearl Initiative
Since 2010, the Global Partnerships Forum compliments the work of the Pearl Initiative, a new programme aimed at creating a regional network of business leaders and policy makers within the Arabian Gulf Region in order to improve corporate governance and achieve better public reporting and accounting of their activities, leading to a more open and transparent business environment.
