We inspire, lead, and support sustainable and systems-changing collaborations to address poverty, equity, and social justice. Bringing together civil society leaders, social innovators, philanthropists, foundations, corporations, government agencies, and global institutions with poor and marginalized communities, we help these diverse actors work together to create sustainable systems change. Since 1986, Synergos has supported innovative global leaders and partnerships in more than 30 countries and regions, including Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, Ethiopia, India, Mexico and the U.S.-Mexico border, the Middle East and North Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.

Growing social innovation
Synergos central initiative in the Middle East and North Africa is our Arab World Social Innovators (AWSI) program. Social Innovators are pioneers of change in their communities whose programs address serious gaps in education, employment, community development, technology and the environment. In February 2011, Synergos recruited our second class of Social Innovators--15 men and women from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and the UAE. The new innovators include pioneers who started Lebanons first blood bank, launched the first radio program for women in the Middle East, and founded Egypts first community foundation. Synergos provides them with a financial award, technical assistance, capacity-building workshops, mentorships, peer exchanges, and access to our broader network of business, philanthropic and civil society leaders. Based on evaluation of the impact of the first class of Innovators and initial reports from the second class, we expect these 15 leaders to increase the reach, sustainability and impact of their initiatives. In 2011 Synergos launched a new global partnership with US Agency for International Development, Ashoka, and the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship to build an enabling environment for social entrepreneurship, initially in the Middle East. Through the Another program, the Pioneer of Egypt/Mobaderoon Masr aims to expand employment opportunities for youth and support a new cadre of civil society and business leaders. Much of 2011 was spent on early planning and consultations for the program, which is funded by the US Agency for International Development. Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship, we will work with leading organizations active in social entrepreneurship globally and in select countries, to create Country Social Entrepreneurship Networks in the targeted countries. These networks will map the social entrepreneurship landscape, identify key constraints, and foster a more supportive ecosystem for social entrepreneurship in their countries. Other efforts have grown out of this program. At the 2011 AWSI orientation in Jordan, women Social Innovators came together to form a womens learning circle exploring the challenges women social entrepreneurs and civil society leaders face, particularly in Muslim societies. Synergos is now expanding this circle to include female members of our global Senior Fellows network.

Building capacity to serve children in need
Much of our work in Mozambique and South Africa focuses on helping local instituations, leaders, and communities meet the needs of children affected by HIV/AIDS (including the loss of parents), poverty, and social exclusion. In South Africa, we work through LINC the Leadership and Innovation Network for Collaboration in the Childrens Sector. Synergos co-founded LINC in 2006, through a partnership led by Convene Venture Philanthropy with Reos Partners and South Africas Department of Social Development. LINC is now part of Synergos. LINC aims to transform the quality and quantity of care for children. It operates through a five-year fellowship of 100 childrens sector leaders who come from government, business, civil society and donor agencies. LINC helps the fellows to function more effectively and fosters innovation and cross-sector collaboration by providing group and individual coaching, peer learning opportunities, social networking, and funding for innovation projects in key areas such as building community capacity. One example of this work involves fellows from several organizations including a major forest products company that are collaborating with the provincial departments of education, forestry and social development in a child-centered community development program in rural KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga. The program aims to help children affected by community

relocations to receive health care, education, and other forms of government assistance. This work includes ensuring that children in these communities are properly registered and provided with birth certificates and identity documents so that they may access government assistance. LINC fellows are also working together on research and policy initiatives, such as successfully changing some aspects of governments plans to carry out compulsory HIV testing and counselling in schools to be more respectful of childrens rights and needs.

Regionally, Synergos is working in a partnership with the Foundation for Community Development in Mozambique , the Nelson Mandela Children in South Africa, and Kim Samuel-Johnson (a Synergos board member) with the goal of improving care for vulnerable children in the two countries. The work seeks to build upon local traditions of child care and increase the social connectedness of children and their caregivers. It is also helping connect community-level response to government resources and programs.

Improvinghealthandnutrition
In 2011, Synergos concluded a three-year effort to create and test a replicable model for developing improving health system performance in Africa. The efforts, called the Africa Health Leadership Initiative (www. africanhealthleadership.org), strengthened the leadership capacity of Namibian health leaders from the most senior level to frontline practitioners and helped them develop innovative pilot projects to improve delivery of maternal health services. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation provided support for this work. The initiative has had a positive impact on many fronts. For example, health care has become more accessible to mothers and pregnant women in places away from Windhoek (the capital) as a result of decentralizing prenatal care to clinics. The number of pregnant women seeking pre-natal care has increased, improving the prospect of lower maternal mortality rates, thanks In 2011, Synergos continued coordinating a maternal, infant and young child nutrition working group, which has contributed to the creation of a Namibian Alliance for Improved Nutrition (NAFIN). Our Namibia staff now serve as NAFINs secretariat. The Ministry is now creating Regional Delivery Units (RDUs) in all regions of Namibia as long-term mechanisms for improving maternal health care. Synergos is helping scale up the RDUs with funding from the US Agency for International Development. to a popular radio program on maternal health. The quality of health care provided by nurses has improved through in-service training. And the initiative has created a culture shift within the Ministry of Health and Social Services, enabling it to be more effective.

Ethiopia

Supportingagriculturaltransformation
Agriculture is the backbone of Ethiopias economy. At the end of 2010, the Government of Ethiopia established the new Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA). This agency is supporting the unique strengths of individual farmers, civil society organizations, private sector partners, government at the national and regional levels, and international actors to help Ethiopia realize the interconnected goals of food security, poverty reduction, and human and economic development. With support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Synergos is assisting the ATA in these efforts. In 2011 our engagement focused on start-up and recruitment of high-level ATA staff. Our work in Ethiopia is managed through an office in Addis Ababa opened in 2011 and staffed by Ethiopian citizens, including Regional Director Abera Tola.

India

Improvingchild nutrition and girls leadership

Synergos was co-founder of the Bhavishya Alliance, an Indian partnerhip of corporate, government, international and civil society organizations including Hindustan Unilever, Tata Industries, HDFC, ICICI, Nike Foundation and UNICEF. Bhavishya designed and tested a number of sustainable, systemic solutions to child under-nutrition in India. These included development of low-cost, nutritious and appealing meals at supplementary child feeding centers, piloted by Taj Hotels and local partners, and an education and empowerment program for 10,000 adolescent girls that has enabled participants to become agents of change in their families and communities.

Founded in 2001 by Peggy Dulany, Synergos Chair, and her father, David Rockefeller, the Circle is a network of philanthropic families numbering 70 from 23 countries in 2011 who are committed to increasing their impact on poverty. The GPC program seeks to help members increase their philanthropic impact and become more effective social investors by offering them opportunities for learning and collaboration with each other and with other members of Synergos networks.

GlobalPhilanthropistsCircle
The learning journey to Cuba in November offered participants a perspective of a country in political and economic transition, with visits to senior government officials, health officials, and religious and cultural leaders as well as community activists, workers, tradespeople and students. In addition, Circle workshops were organized in London, New York and Paris on a range of topics including impact investing; effective interventions for social and

economic development in the Middle East; philanthropic approaches to combating human trafficking; and a forum on how philanthropists can better support social entrepreneurship in the developing world.

The GPC marked its tenth anniversary in 2011, with the GPC Annual Members Meeting serving as a forum to look at changes in philanthropy during that period and in the future. Among the topics discussed were the role of philanthropy in democracy movements such as the Arab Spring, ways in which philanthropy can promote social inclusion, and new models of social investment. The meeting concluded with a conversation with Peter and Jennifer Buffett of the NoVo Foundation on family and social engagement. Synergos organized a learning journey for Circle members to Cuba and our first learning journey to China and Taiwan. The latter provided members with a highlevel look at key development issues facing China today, and ways in which philanthropy can help address them. Members spoke at a Philanthropy Forum organized by the government, which offered insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with grantmaking in China. Synergos will be following up with Chinese groups interested in collaborating with Synergos to promote philanthropy and civil society development.

Senior Fellows
The Synergos Senior Fellows network comprises outstanding civil society leaders who are are committed to increasing their impact on poverty and inequity through collaboration. Through a three-year fellowship program, these leaders exchange innovative ideas, models and tools in the development field and benefit from opportunities to connect and collaborate with other change makers. Each year new Fellows are recruited to a network that in 2011 comprised 123 Fellows from over 40 countries, mainly in the Global South. The eleven Fellows that joined,the network in 2011 included our first from Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Jordan. These new Fellows programs address environmental conservation, childrens rights, girls and womens empowerment, education for peace, and youth leadership development. In April the Senior Fellows held their Annual Meeting in New York around the theme of inclusion, examining challenges to including marginalized sectors of society in development partnerships. Fellows also shared tools and processes for overcoming these challenges, such as developing initiatives to build trust, creating a common vision, identifying allies, turning opinion makers into allies, creating safe spaces for stakeholders to engage, and practicing transparency. The meeting also provided opportunities for Fellows to share their experience and exchange ideas through peer consulting and peer learning sessions. For example, a peer learning session on the power of social networks was led by two Fellows. Hisham El Rouby

shared his experience during the January 2011 demonstrations in Egypt. Fernanda Bornhausen S from Brazil made a presentation on volunteerism as a force for social change. She discussed the role of social networks in creating social change, and how to use social media effectively. Gilda Haas showed how to create your own narrative for social change, using video and popular education tools. Other peer learning topics included strategies for securing womens rights in Nepal, tools for involving corporations in social development, making the most of boards, and strategies to overcome financial constraints caused by the global recession. In October, Senior Fellows from nine African countries came together in Johannesburg, South Africa, for a

two-day regional meeting focused on building trust for development partnerships. The meeting also explored ways to develop and support leadership, using as a model our LINC leadership and collaborative in South Africa. Synergos conducted an evaluation of Fellows who joined the network in 2008, with ten out of eleven responding. Findings indicate that the Senior Fellows program achieved its intended outcomes, contributing to personal growth, strengthening the Fellows skills in bridging leadership and building multi-stakeholder partnerships, and fostering a systemic approach to social issues.

Special Events

Each year Synergos organizes annual and special events that connect members of our various networks, help them learn from each others work, and spark new ideas and collaborations. Three of our larger events in 2011 were a first Education Forum and Universities for a Night in New York and Johannesburg. The Education Forum brought together over 50 network members and select organizations working in education in 20 countries, including partners such as McKinsey & Company. Held in April, the forum looked at improving systems, schools and communities, and provided opportunities for peer learning and peer consulting on how to improve teaching skills; help students get jobs; create high-performing public schools through private-public partnership; and develop schools and curriculums that help students succeed in rapidly changing economies. Our annual University for a Night was also held in April in New York, with a focus on changing the world by changing the lives of women and girls. Jennifer and Peter Buffett of the NoVo Foundation and Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi of the African Womens Development Fund received David Rockefeller Bridging Leadership Awards for their work to empower women and girls. In October we held University for a Night in Africa in Johannesburg. The event brought together 130 representatives of African business, government and civil society to honor Dr. Mamphela Ramphele with the David Rockefeller Bridging Leadership in Africa Award for her efforts to build freedom, social justice and shared prosperity in South Africa and around the world.
