Lily – Introduction

[Lily]

Hello! My name is Lily and I am a researcher for Impact17. I am based in the United Kingdom. I want to do this course as I am seeking a career in brokering partnerships and would like to expand my knowledge on partnering. An example of a partnership that has stuck with me is the Zurich Flood Resilience Partnership. I think this is a good example of the private sector using its knowledge, expertise, and resources to make a positive impact. It is also a great example of a multi-sector partnerships that goes beyond a philanthropic approach and involves a more strategic and collaborative approach to partnering. As someone who is very passionate about partnering, especially between the private sector and humanitarian sector, I find it great to see partnerships like Flood Resilience making a positive impact.
