On the occasion of Foundation Week, which will be held in Brussels for the first time this June, this high-profile roundtable debate will explore the great potential for better cooperation and coordination between foundations and other development actors.How can EU and national aid-givers facilitate closer cooperation between foundations and other development actors? Should EU policymakers do more to coordinate and share project evaluation methods, and perhaps create a shared database of projects? What role can international institutions and organisations play in this growing field? And what should host governments in the developing world do to encourage foundations to engage in development assistance? These are among the questions to be discussed.
