Tapping Philanthropy for Development: Lessons Learned from a Public-Private Partnership in Rural Uganda - 1529

In telling the story of an innovative program based at Iowa State University (ISU), Lorna Michael Butler, Della McMillan, and their colleagues offer practical, stepbystep advice critical for any organization seeking to fund and manage multifaceted, publicprivate partnerships for development. The story begins when the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at ISU received large gifts from alumni and friends with a strong interest in Africa. Using that transformative funding, the university established the Center for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods (CSRL) and entered into collaborative, longterm relationships with a university and an NGO in Uganda. Tapping Philanthropy for Development draws on the partners' experiences to provide a unique roadmap for effectively navigating the challenges involved in obtaining nontraditional funding―and in using it well.
