This chapter will critically assess the role and the impact of corporate philanthropy in the UN development sector, with a specific focus on the activities of the UN Development Program (UNDP) as one of the most active UN bodies when it comes to private sector collaborations. In doing so, this contribution will first provide an overview of the evolution of corporate philanthropy in the UN system. This will be followed by exploration of different forms of corporate funding at the UN, including direct contributions to the organization; indirect contributions through the establishment of a charitable foundation; and public–private partnerships. The chapter will conclude with an assessment of the mechanisms that were put in place by the UN as a whole and the UNDP in particular to mitigate the reputational risks associated with the business sector cooperation.
Publicly funded international organizations have traditionally been cautious in engaging with the private sector. This contribution will study the different types of relationships of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance – as a quasi-international organization – with the private sector. As illustrated, they are multi-faceted and relatively advanced. It will assess how the different types of interactions with the private sector have evolved over time and operate in practice. The contribution will also touch on how intergovernmental organizations that are members of the Alliance engage with the private sector as part of Gavi-funded activities. Some of those are complementary while for others intergovernmental organizations and private sector entities can be considered as alternatives.
