Recommendation 23

23

FCDO is not fully leveraging philanthropic power, requiring improved engagement.

Recommendation
Philanthropic organisations have considerable power that the FCDO is currently not wielding to its maximum impact. Whilst the Government must be aware of the risks and implement mitigations where possible, there are compelling reasons for the Department to improve engagement with philanthropic organisations. (Conclusion, Paragraph 74)
