Topic: The Economist's future history of ending 20th c politicians: bottom-up races to end village poverty- and not just top-down politicaian's strategies? how on earth could eu miss the simplest crisis geo-map of the last 25 years? Future History of privatisation, 1992 - 2022 The Economist 21st December 1991 Norman Macrae looks forward to the end of politicians. IT is possible that the word "privatisation" first appeared in print in The Economist, just over 30 years ago, It was suggested by somebody now dead, who may have subconsciously pinched it from some-thing published earlier somewhere else. For those who used it in these columns, the word then seemed part of a hopeless crusade. In the 1960s it was hard to persuade even sensible people how wrong were those like J.K. Galbraith, who told eager politicians that the interests of the poor could be served best by spending much more of GDP through politician-dictated monopolies in-stead of market-leading common sense. Actually, in the 1960s rich countries were achieving marvellously greater equalisation in almost everything provided by private enterprise, but the underclass became further downtrodden in America's and Europe's inner cities whenever services were instead provided from the public purse. For the first time in history, millionaires and welfare mothers were spending their leisure hours in the same way: watching the same television programmes, from armchairs of the same comfort in similarly heated rooms, while other consumer durables spread to the living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and (in some countries) parking spaces even of the few unemployed. So did opportunities for holidays in the sun and purchases of clothes; remember that in 1945 the average Englishman had owned only one pair of trousers. Supermarkets spread from the suburbs to the slums, and found similar expenditure per consumer there. There was no such equalisation between suburb and inner city in things where public servants spent increasingly more of the taxpayers' money. This was especially true on the worst public-housing estates, from which 90% of an area's crime might emanate; where it became unsafe to walk down graffiti-desecrated corridors, because anything that belonged to the community was deemed to belong to nobody; where life deteriorated into drugs, hopelessness, squalor. The great divide The luckiest young Londoners returning from the war in 1945 were those whose applications for flats in these great new tower blocks overlooking the Thames were, to their fury, turned down. They had to buy, for perhaps £1,500 in 1950, supposedly shoddier homes built by "speculative" builders several decades before, with weekly mortgage payments at about thrice a favoured council tenant's rent. Forty years later they had a capital asset worth perhaps £150,000, while the "favoured" tenant had something worth nothing, except a vicious circle of hell. In the inner cities, police protection, state education, safeguarding of poorer people's life environment grew steadily and - for both taxpayer and customer - ever more expensively worse. After vast inpouring of public money, people in poor areas had to send their children to more modernly-built but much nastier and less parent-selected schools, where their kids had a growing prospect of being turned into drug-addicted delinquents. After quadrupled spending police protection in the Bronx, the prospect of a mugger being apprehended there fell to under 2%, so mugging became an attractive way of teenage life. In Lyndon Johnson's presidency, 1963-69, America created a huge welfare state, which proceeded to cripple instead of aid its clients. All of the forward indices of misery (illegitimacy, welfare dependency, lack of neighbourliness, crime, drugs, riot so as to loot) grew worse. In Britain the "commanding heights of the economy" had been nationalised originally on the argument that it would be too easy to make vast profits in these great monopoly industries (like coal, rail, steel, ship-building, public utilities). As soon as the state took over these industries, they plunged into vast losses instead. They were operated in the interest of their unions, instead of their customers, and without any innovative spark. If a middle manager in a private company thinks his boss is making a horlicks of his job, he can set up another firm in competition. If he is in a state firm, he writes a memorandum which says the boss is making a horlicks; and loses all chance of promotion. In Russia he got shot. The inefficiency of state spending in rich countries was shown further when the mighty United States began to lose a war to slightly ridiculous North Vietnam, despite spending 1,000 times more money on its arms and soldiers than did Hanoi. Nobody listened, then everybody did. At the time I was doing some moonlighting work with an American management consultant. Together we tried to invent new Greek-derived words, distinguishing between activities which were wholly driven by customers' demand (and were generally succeeding), and those driven by expenditure of taxpayers' or sometimes private money (whose productivity declined with each extra zillion pumped in). None of these Greek words caught on. In The Economist we tried terms like recompetitioning and privatisation. Privatisation was meant to signify the return to profitable private motivation of anything that had declined through unprofitable state intervention, in Europe usually through state ownership, in America usually through excessive regulation (including what Herman Kahn called "health and safety fascism"). The clear advantage of privatisation was that everybody working in private businesses, from the entrepreneurs to the often non-unionised workforce, got more money if their new ways of doing things succeeded (a success they sometimes overhyped). If they did not attract more customers, they went bust. People in public activities soon learnt that they got more money if their settled ways of doing things failed, because then they could wail that governments must pump still more money to them. One school in south London produced 80% of the juvenile delinquents in its area; the educational authorities directed ever more money to its often absentee and strike-ridden staff; because so many of their pupils were truant (sometimes after a hard night mugging), they clearly faced "special problems". Today's Soviet Disunion produces far more wheat, rye, potatoes, barley than the United States; yet Moscow faces bread riots because most of it fails to reach the shops. This is because the distribution system is socialist, so nobody has an incentive to move the stuff (as distinct from either staying away or turning up just to fill forms). That is also true in many town halls across the free world. Morale has naturally deteriorated in all the activities run in the failure-welcoming socialist way. Economic decline has correlated closely with the proportion of the workforce in public-sector jobs, from Merseyside (way above the British average) to Brezhnev's Omsk(100%). But during the 1970s those of us who appealed for reform via privatisation were still generally regarded as nuts. The word barely appeared in Margaret Thatcher's 1979 election campaign. Then it took off. In the past dozen years, 1979-91, privatisation has become a real policy in more than 70 countries. Although the lead was given by Thatcherdom, some of the most extensive privatisers have been Labour governments in Australia, Scandinavia and Spain. Privatisation is seen in all the ex-communist countries as a means through which industries and services long buried under dead socialism can bring some springtime to the frozen earth above. The policy has taken wing in Japan (telecoms and railways) and the Asian dragons. It stumbles forward in the third world. Less than a decade after the Falklands war, British merchant banks are drawing fees from a Peronist government for advising on privatisations to stop Argentine industries being mismanaged by Peronist colonels. No-body could have imagined this 12 years ago. Unfortunately, much of it is being done the wrong way. Fortunately, the scope for further privatisation is everywhere huge. The rest of this article sketches a plausible future history for privatisation. The suggested timetable will be wrong, but things will move this way. Parochially, in a viewspaper published in London, this future history will most often be told as it may develop in Britain. Other countries may move at a faster pace, but this blinkering will protect the article from being diffused. It will also help emphasise that party political changes will not slow the caravan. Kinnock privatises coal and rail Start with the two industries which the British Tories have promised to privatise if returned to office: coal and the railways. In our scenario these would be privatised even by a Kinnock Labour government in the 1990s, although for opposite reasons. The fudged three-year agreement, whereby privatised British electricity firms have to buy some uneconomic British coal, runs out in 1993-94. The European Commission will be bound to forbid continuance of this clearly anti-competitive arrangement. The number of viable deep British pits will then fall from today's 68 to about three. The Kinnock government would not want a nationalised coal company to fight the long strike with Arthur Scargill about this. It will therefore say that wicked Brussels has ordered coal privatisation (which it virtually will have done), and that the pits to remain open must be decided by the market. Some of the abandoned pits may have coal drawn from them by any teams of miners that find this economic, rather like anybody can go blackberrying. At first the attempted safety regulations will be tougher than potholing, but will then decay. In America the safety people were pilloried when they demanded the installation of a stretcher by the owner of a one-man mine. In the 1990s opencast mining, at present environmentally unpopular, will become environment-loved. The opencast machines rip off the topsoil, but are then required to replace it in the form that local people want which is no longer for agriculture, but as golf courses and pony-trekking land. This helps mitigate one of the worst drains on enterprise, which is that planning restrictions tend to forbid any land to be turned to alternative use. The railways will gain from the prejudice against changing land use. In the 1990s and 2000s crowded countries like Britain will sensibly turn to charging for occupying the roads. An electronic attachment on each vehicle, especially each lorry, will be activated whenever it enters an area where it adds to delay-causing traffic jams. The bill will be sent to the vehicle's owner, and be-come quite high. Coupled with technology that makes it much faster to load and unload containers at railhead, railways will be ripe for privatisation. As argued by Oliver Letwin (the Tory candidate standing against Glenda Jackson in Hampstead), a privatised railway system will become rather like an airport. A centralised body (which may not be privatised until the 2010s) will run the safety and signalling system. If anybody in the early 1950s had said how many thousandfold would rise the passenger miles flown on the airlines, and yet with a large drop in accidents, he would not have been believed. His surprise would be greater when told that efficiency would increase fastest when Ronald Reagan sacked all America's public-sector air-traffic controllers for going on strike. Today, incoming and take-off aircraft rarely run into each other, even though landing slots are being "chaotically" sold through private agents, even though all sizes and speeds of aircraft are taking off from and homing into the same narrow and some-times foggy runways. Thus it will become with the privatised railways. The opening of the Channel tunnel will allow new railway locomotives into Britain, which are half as expensive as British locomotives now and of much more varied design. Light railways (often driven by computers, sometimes by volunteer commuters) will run from exurbia to connect with rush-hour commuter trains, suddenly making profits again. Lush cruise trains will take rich Americans and Japanese through the cultural centres of Europe. The end of duty-free drinks at European airports in 1993 will be mitigated for international trains, the one form of transport where booze does no damage. Slightly more important, the railways will make money from the fibre-optic and other cables or the new-technology pipelines laid beside their tracks. Most important, property development will boom at stations and on other parts of the railways' ridiculously underused land. The world's richest billionaire in 1991 is a 55-year-old Japanese who spotted the money to be made from railway land in Japan. By the early 2000s the successful privatisation of British Rail will be followed by privatisation of the Bundesbahn, the trans-Siberian railway and every other railway on the Eurasian land mass. Other utilities will follow The success of railway privatisation will set the tone for the proper competitioning of other utilities. In electricity the grid should usually belong to a separate organisation, and entrepreneurs make money by feeding competitively into it. By the late 1990s the partial success of British electricity's privatisation will mean there is some sort of commodity price per kilowatt hour of electricity on the European grid. Suddenly scientists will manage, eg, to isolate hydrogen from something in which it abounds, like seawater, and feed it as a power source much more cheaply into that grid than electricity from coal or gas. This will be followed by the discovery of ever cheaper ways of releasing energy from storage in matter. All will come competitively into the grid. In the gas industry, British Gas will have lost its monopoly, because cheaper gas from Siberia will have to be allowed into its pipelines, after the 1996 free-trade agreement with the post-Gorbachev Soviet Union. During the brief 1991 Gulf War the Japanese invested in ways of bringing frozen natural gas from all round the Pacific. These will succeed. The near-bankrupt oil wells of the Middle East will have to follow, by exporting similarly cheap gas by all means to Europe and America. As energy prices fall, food prices will dramatically accompany them. After free trade with Russia, the EC's common agricultural cartel will collapse. Cheap food will pour in by rail from the black earth of Ukraine, as cruise trains to Samarkand pass them the other way. Telecommunications (whose grid is anyway disintegrating with mobile telephones) and television (recompetitioned by satellite) will also leave the public sector entirely. In tones similar to today's lessons about 19th-century child labour, sociologists will tell with horror of the exploiting classes' device named the BBC. A poll tax (called the licence fee) was levied on every family, even poor widows and pensioners in Hackney, in order to impose on them toffee-nosed programmes which only the upper middle classes (in the name of "culture") thought they wanted. Actually, as we will soon learn, the BBC's brief 74 years from 1922 to 1996 were when British culture rotted worst, because it was brought under duopoly control. Then everything, including the policy During the late 1990s the privatisation of the social services will gather worldwide pace. The first privatisations will take some disguised form of the "voucher" system discussed for decades. Everybody except the teachers' unions will see that schools should get money only if they attract pupils. Dreadful schools, which parents shun, should be closed. Each child will carry a voucher, paid for by the state, to the school of his choice. "Choice units" in each area will take parents round available schools, to show what is on offer. Many people will rightly say that children from disadvantaged backgrounds should have specially topped-up vouchers, so that schools should compete most keenly to attract them. At juvenile courts, orders will be made to increase the vouchers for offenders; some-times the parent will be ordered to pay the topping-up. Both the American and British health systems will gravitate towards a system of health maintenance organisations (HMOs, or bodies that compete to get your capitation fee, and then seek to provide all your health-care needs as economically as possible). In America the present fee-for-service system has proven quite uneconomic. Doctors make more money if they treat patients as expensively as possible after they become ill. The patients do not mind this money being spent, because it comes from insurance cover paid for under tax incentives by their employers. In its umpteenth attempt to stem the federal budget deficit, sometime in the 1990s, the American Congress will see that it can save tens of billions spent on hypochondriacs a year if it grants tax relief on employers' health insurance only up to the point where everybody can pay a basic HMO capitation fee. If anybody wants more expensive fee-for-service medicine, he must pay for it out of taxed income. Britain's NHS has always had something like an HMO system for its family doctors or general practitioners (GP's). But nearly 90% of British government NHS spending has gone to hospitals with hierarchies of state-salaried doctors, nurses and far too many trade-unionised workers (three times as many as in some of the better Japanese hospitals). The GP system, whereby Britons choose their family doctors and the government pays those doctors a capitation fee, has been reasonably successful. By any criterion of cost effectiveness, the NHS hospital system has not. In 1991, amid loud and sometimes mendacious political controversy, some seeds of reform have already been sown. Under the 1991 NHS reforms, budget-holding family doctors will compete to get patients into hospitals without waiting lists, and hospitals will get more money only if they thus attract patients. There are only minor and gradual steps from this reformed NHS system to a proper HMO system. Under any governments in Britain, those steps will occur. They will probably occur rather faster under a Labour government. Labour 1992-96 will have less public money to spend on the NHS than the Tories, because it has promised to spend so much more on other things, and (partly thereby) is bound to scare more money out of the country. Labour will have to try to spend the annual £30 billion or so on the NHS more effectively. The row about Tory reforms is that Tory "trust hospitals" then proceed to sack workers. Since British hospitals have long been overstaffed, that is what any reforms (including Labour's) will have to aim for. British prisons have long been a ridiculous public service, with negative gross production. They create recidivists, instead of cure criminals. A 20-year-old who is sent to prison is more likely to become a habitual criminal than one who narrowly escapes being sent there. America has moved towards some private-enterprise prisons, whose entrepreneurs will be paid more if their inmates do not recommit offences. In the decade 2000-10, governments will recognise that the same "recompetitioning" is also highly desirable for the police. Modern police forces have huge computer files of genetic fingerprints, ordinary fingerprints, case histories and behaviour patterns of particular villains and for particular crimes. These files are secret to everybody except the police, who (being a public-sector body) are PC Plods who are not innovative at using them. In the early 2000s the increased efficiency of hackers at breaking into secret files will bring scandal about the police into the media in many countries. There will be accusations that the police are deliberately not tracking down some big gangs of criminals, ostensibly because those criminals are paying them with information about other criminals, but really because they are paying them money. In Britain police will be found still concocting cases against black people, Irish people, long-haired youths, short-haired youths, other folk they dislike. The interesting question will explode: why should police files be kept secret? Some civil libertarians will say "the police have to keep secret the record of petty offender Joe Bloggs, because it would be wicked if all his neighbours know it." A compromise will be effected whereby each computer file, though thrown open to investigation by many competitors to the police, will have a number instead of proper name attached. After a certain stage in a criminal career, even that anonymity will be removed e.g., for the under 1% of people who commit over 50% of some crimes because, on release, they go straight back to offending and soon to prison again. Even in the early 1990s, each year spent by anybody in prison in Britain costs the state £25,000. Gradually, the whole unsuccessful police and justice system in most countries will be transformed, by recognising that it should be a modern open-to-everybody information industry. By 2000 the cost of lawyers will be falling fast. People will recognise that most of the work of lawyers can be done more quickly by telecommuting into programmes that interpret the statute law of England. Those programmes will answer the specific question you have posed via your personal computer. Cases in non-criminal law will then increasingly be settled by each side putting its case to the computer, and agreeing to accept its verdict. When a suspected criminal is arraigned before a court, the first question will at last rightly become "did he do it?" Until after about 2010, suspects will still be able, if they wish, to insist on submitting themselves to the present lottery system of adversarial lawyers, widely differing juries and erratic Lords Justice. But more and more criminals will agree to plea-bargain after seeing on computer file all the evidence against them, and the computer's judgment of how little chance they have of getting away with their defence. The courts will then usually go on to the next and civilised question, though preferably with the lightest punishment: "how best can we discourage you from doing this again?" There should be lots of competing organisations offering "if the state will pay us the £25,000 a year that it would otherwise cost to put this man in prison, we will try to reform him within the community in the following way. If he recommits an offence within a certain time, we lose our fee." Sometimes that will require electronic tagging of the man concerned. If so, he should have some choice of which regime he prefers. There will be an increase of "bobbies on the beat" (i.e., policemen within the community), but various competitive bodies will start submitting tenders for this job saying they will seek to simplify their tasks by, e.g., better street lighting near notorious trouble spots. Then, around 2010, local authorities will begin to change their way of providing municipal services. It is absurd that you should have to vote either Conservative or Labour when choosing who best can man-age your drains. Multinational corporations will appear On the ballot for local elections. They will say: "We will charge only this level of poll tax or property tax. We will promise by contract to reach the following targets for reduction in the crime rate, for environmental cleanliness, etc. If by the judgement of independent auditors we fail, we will have to remit some of your property tax to you. But we are confident we can fulfil this contract, and make a profit for our-selves at this level of property tax. Liverpool and New York city will be-come two of the first areas to elect commercial firms instead of politicians as their municipal authorities. The poor and the military By 2015 there will be only two main "public goods" left in the sense economists use the term (things best provided by government rather than markets). These two remaining public goods will be redistribution and military protection. These will then become competitivised. Some part of redistribution can be handled by insurance. "I want to make sure my income never falls below half the average income": for some people, that could be an insurable risk. Others, such as the handicapped, some elderly and a few children, need special help. This can best be provided competitively. Children in the care of local-authority homes in Britain have an appallingly higher delinquency rate than other children, including those from equally troubled families but foster-parented or in charitable institutions like Barnardos. "Public sector" means there is a trade-union row if employees are sacked for mere inadequacy, or for monstrous incompetence. In institutions on performance contracts, there can be a continuous search for methods that succeed. These performance contracts will eventually spread to tackle poverty. In the early 1990s the United States has 13% of its population below the officially defined poverty line, but an American has less than a 1% chance of staying long in poverty provided he or she does three things: completes high school, gets and stays married (not necessarily to the same person), stays a year in his first job even if at the minimum wage. People will start to bid for contracts to try to help "endangered people" thus to avoid being long in poverty, and some of the con-tracts will work. The future of defence can be seen from what happened in the Gulf war. Long-distance rockets can already be pinpointed down the bedroom ventilator of any dictator, or on to any of his lorries and tanks. More sophisticated weapons than that are not going to be needed any more. Idealists say that military operations should be put under the control of the United Nations. Since many of the nastiest dictators have votes in the UN, that would not work. But in the next two decades NATO will more or less join with the old Warsaw Pact, in what will become a rich man's club. NATO-Warsaw will keep a register of arms sent to any poorer countries, and will start to forbid any such sales. It will gradually assume a world policeman's role. It will equip itself at lowest price with stuff that actually works and will therefore probably buy much of its electronic hardware from the Japanese. It will recruit its soldiers in the cheapest high-quality markets: Gurkhas, Britain's SAS, Sons of old soldiers from various villages round the world with fighting in their blood. By the 2020s it will be recognised as absurd that only the Republican and Democratic parties should field serious candidates for (say) the 2024 election for president of the United States. A competing "contractual" candidacy will be emerging a cabinet team who say they will never raise income tax above 10% (watch their lips), but will contract to provide government of the following quality...…; Added by chris macrae at 6:23pm on July 21, 2014

Governments, civil society, and businesses need to redefine value to address not just the economic but the social and environmental challenges of the 21st century. In this session, key leaders across sectors will reimagine how CGI members can:• identify which indicators and measurement systems can be implemented to drive progress for the public, private, and non-profit sectors• assess and internalize externalities and non-quantifiable outcomes to provide a broader picture of impact• utilize big data to capture, analyze, and drive results in both real time and over the long term MODERATOR: Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair, Clinton Foundation PARTICIPANTS: Mary Barra, Chief Executive Officer, General Motors Company Jack Ma, Executive Chairman, Alibaba Group Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Finance Minister, Federal Republic of Nigeria Darren Walker, President, Ford Foundation BREAKOUT SESSIONS 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM CGI Conversation hosted by CNBC's Becky Quick Do Consumers Care? SESSION FEATURES: FILMED FOR BROADCAST • PANEL The global economic crisis that took hold six years ago and the subsequent recession raised new hopes, expectations, and fears about the relationship between corporations and consumers. While more than 50 percent of consumers worldwide say that they are willing to reward companies that give back to society, they often still pick the easy and affordable options that provide short-term gratification and convenience. Corporations are exploring how to produce meaningfully sustainable products and services that are better for consumer health, fairer to those who produce them, and cleaner for our planet, while also helping consumers navigate an abundance of choices. As the relationship between business and consumers continues to reset after the economic crisis, CEOs in this panel discussion will:• identify the role consumers expect corporations and their leaders to play in moving society and economic opportunity, as well as innovation, forward• explore the value of socially-responsible corporate efforts to investors and which social benefits all stakeholders expect corporations to provide• determine ways for CGI members to promote transparency and understanding between business and society, enabling consumers to make educated purchasing decisions that are in their long-term interests MODERATOR: Becky Quick, Co-anchor, Squawk Box, CNBC Opening Conversation: PARTICIPANTS: President Bill Clinton, Founding Chairman, Clinton Global Initiative; 42nd President of the United States Panel Discussion: PARTICIPANTS: Antony Jenkins, Group Chief Executive, Barclays Penny Pritzker, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, U.S. Department of Commerce Tony James, President and COO, Blackstone Closing Conversation: PARTICIPANTS: John P. Bilbrey, President and CEO, The Hershey Company Hugh Grant, Chairman and CEO, Monsanto Company Lisa Jackson, Vice President, Environmental Initiatives, Apple Scalable Ideas: Pitching for Partnerships SESSION FEATURES: COMMITMENT PITCHES • INTERACTIVE • NETWORKING Commitment-makers “pitch” their Commitments to Action to an expert panel, then network with the audience to rethink their current strategies, identify potential resources, and establish innovative partnerships. This session will highlight commitment-makers’ work in the built environment and environmental stewardship, with an emphasis on sustainable sourcing. SPEAKERS: Patrick Awuah, President, Ashesi University Caryl Levine, Co-founder and Co-owner, Lotus Foods, Inc. Eric Olsen, Group Executive Vice President of Operations, Lafarge Sarah Otterstrom, Founder and Executive Director, Paso Pacifico Nick Reding, Executive Director, S.A.F.E. Sean Willmore, President and Managing Director, The Thin Green Foundation/ International Ranger Federation José A. Zaglul, President, EARTH University PANELISTS: Allison Duncan, Founder and CEO , Amplifier Strategies Afsaneh Beschloss, Founder, President, and CEO, The Rock Creek Group Luis Alberto Moreno, President, Inter-American Development Bank SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Delivering Low-Cost Degrees to 40-million People SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • INTERACTIVE There is an increasing need to expand the talent pool around the world to meet the professional challenges of the 21st century. However, access to and the affordability of higher education continue to widen the gap between those seeking to become career-ready and the employers seeking skilled talent to fill current and future workforce demands. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have enormous potential to provide access to high-quality coursework to tens of millions of students around the world, and offer an untraditional pathway to attaining employable skills critical to diminishing the existing skills gap.In this session, CGI members will learn strategies for harnessing this innovative learning model—with the support of third-party accreditation—to build a highly-skilled global workforce. REMARKS: Anant Agarwal, Chief Executive Officer, edX Tim Bozik, President, Higher Education, Pearson MODERATOR: Zoë Baird, CEO and President, Markle Market Mechanisms as Tools in the Fight Against Human Trafficking SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE Increasingly, anti-slavery advocates are employing market-based industry incentives such as investment, capacity building, and market access to companies in high-slavery-risk industries willing to transform their practices. The end goal is a better product made by happier—and safer—workers.This session will garner lessons from several Commitments to Action made by CGI members that utilize this approach, in industries ranging from agriculture to household goods. Members will discuss successful market interventions, examine strategies for replicating and scaling innovative initiatives, and identify potential new partnerships in this space. REMARKS: Greg Asbed, Co-founder, Coalition of Immokalee Workers Lucas Benitez, Co-founder, Coalition of Immokalee Workers Cheryl Queen, Vice President, Communication, Compass Group USA Mobile Partnerships for Financial Inclusion SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE One person out of every three in the world lacks access to the most basic financial services provided by banks and insurance companies. Serving this population—namely those living at the bottom of the pyramid—through micro-lending, micro-savings, and micro-insurance initiatives has proven successful in achieving pathways to economic stability and more sustained prosperity. Mobile technology in particular has given rise to new and innovative ways to deliver those services to the people who need them most, yet this population remains largely untapped.In this session, CGI members will discuss why large, established financial service providers across the globe often struggle to work with consumers at the bottom of the pyramid, and how the development of new partnerships with organization more adept at operating in the sector—from NGOs to telecommunications companies—can lead to greater empowerment, stability, and economic gains for all. PARTICIPANTS: Cherie Blair, Founder, Cherie Blair Foundation for Women Arjuna Costa, Investment Partner, Omidyar Network Lawrence Yanovitch, President , GSMA Mobile Development Foundation Proving the Interdependence of Conservation, Profitability, and Economic Growth SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE CGI members—from key business leaders to local NGOs—have made significant strides in developing operational and financial frameworks and tools for conserving, restoring, and using nature sustainably. Developed as core business priorities, as part of economic development plans, or as conservation-focused initiatives, these cross-sector efforts recognize the value of linking the economy and nature to ensure the long-term viability of the world’s ecosystems.This session will highlight specific examples that illustrate this relationship across industries, issues, and geographies. CGI members will identify potential pathways to hasten the adoption of tools that prioritize both economic and environmental value. Advances in wild sourcing, ecosystem services valuation, human and environmental health, response and resiliency, ocean and terrestrial conservation, and the role of women in promoting environmental stewardship will be examined. PARTICIPANTS: Patrick Bergin, Chief Executive Officer , African Wildlife Foundation Michelle Fox, Wild Sky Rancher, American Prairie Reserve Nate Hurst, Global Director of Environmental & Living Progress, HP Gonzalo Castro de la Mata, Member of the Supervisory Council, Wetlands International Shannon Schuyler, Corporate Responsibility Leader, PwC Nigel Stansfield, Chief Innovations Officer, Interface, Inc. The Business Case for Preparedness SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE Since 1970, the number of people exposed to large-scale floods and tropical cyclones has doubled. In addition to the humanitarian toll, the cost of international humanitarian aid rose 430 percent between 2004 and 2013. The economic implications of natural disasters extend to businesses, driving up internal expenditures and creating challenges for their customers. Typically, large-scale disasters prompt spontaneous participation of the private sector in emergency response—but business can play a much larger role in helping to enhance an at-risk country’s preparedness before a disaster strikes. A region that is increasingly attracting investors and business operations, Southeast Asia, also has a history of vulnerability to natural disasters, including the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, and most recently, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in November 2013.In this session, CGI members will draw on lessons learned in the aftermath of the typhoon as well as other past disasters, and explore strategies that leverage the business community’s capacities for continuity and resiliency planning aimed at reducing vulnerability while increasing their competitive advantage. PARTICIPANTS: Eric Cesal, Executive Director, Architecture For Humanity Joe Gebbia, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Airbnb, Inc. Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategies SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • INTERACTIVE Protecting women’s sexual and reproductive health is paramount to truly empowering women, and is essential to poverty alleviation. However, various challenges to maternal and neonatal health remain, and are further compounded by vague support systems. For example, fistula, a condition resulting from prolonged obstructed labor or sexual violence, often leads to the marginalization of women by their societies, stigmatizing them and sentencing them to a life of dependency. Despite being a preventable and treatable condition, approximately 2 to 4 million women in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East remain untreated.This session will bring together CGI members who are employing holistic solutions to address maternal health challenges—from tackling structural systems that increase the prevalence of child marriage or access to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations, to empowering those living with fistula to regain their health and financial independence. Members will explore new opportunities for creative collaboration to protect the sexual and reproductive health and rights of all women. REMARKS: John Fair, Chief Commercial Officer, Evofem Babatunde Osotimehin, Executive Director, United Nations Population Fund PARTICIPANTS: Molly Melching, Executive Director, Tostan PLENARY SESSION 1:00 PM - 2:15 PM Cities as Labs of Innovation Lunch will be served at 12:30 PM Today, half of the world’s population lives in cities—and by 2030, there will be five billion urban dwellers. With an estimated five million migrants moving to cities each month, the rapid pace of urbanization globally has left many with limited access to essential services, most notably affecting the one billion people living in slums. Despite this, urban dwellers have built a $10 trillion informal economy. They have used their cities as laboratories of innovation and entrepreneurship, and have worked to create solutions that bridge gaps in the provision of financial services, health care, and transportation. In this session, key leaders across sectors will reimagine how CGI members can:• identify tools that can be used to unlock the inherent innovation occurring in cities, helping residents drive business and economic growth• build networks of collaboration to scale up and replicate solutions at the national and global levels MODERATORS: Mohammad Parham Al Awadhi, Co-founder, Peeta Planet Peyman Parham Al Awadhi, Co-founder, Peeta Planet PARTICIPANTS: Uridéia Andrade, Alumna, Gastromotiva Emmanuel Chiezie, Project Co-ordinator, Dr. Aloy & Gesare Chife Foundation Gesare Chife, Executive Director, Dr. Aloy & Gesare Chife Foundation Matt Damon, Co-founder, Water.org David Hertz, Founder and CEO, Gastromotiva Gary White, CEO and Co-founder, Water.org Closing Conversation: REMARKS: President Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States Commitment Announcements: REMARKS: President Bill Clinton, Founding Chairman, Clinton Global Initiative; 42nd President of the United States BREAKOUT SESSIONS 2:30 PM - 3:45 PM CGI Conversation hosted by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria The Pulse of Global Progress SESSION FEATURES: FILMED FOR BROADCAST • PANEL Solving the world’s greatest challenges requires vision, commitment, and leadership. Join prominent journalists and their guests—world leaders, business executives, philanthropists, and others—in a series of dynamic broadcast conversations about leading solutions to the world’s most pressing issues. In this session, filmed by CGI’s 2014 broadcast partner CNN and moderated by host Fareed Zakaria, world leaders will discuss current affairs, innovative solutions, and the positive partnerships that will drive progress in the world forward. MODERATOR: Fareed Zakaria, Host, Fareed Zakaria GPS, CNN Panel Discussion: PARTICIPANTS: Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair, Clinton Foundation Paul Farmer, Co-founder and Chief Strategist, Partners In Health, Kolokotrones University Professor, Harvard Medical School Closing Conversation: PARTICIPANTS: Shimon Peres, Former President of the State of Israel How can 2.5 billion people living without toilets gain access to sanitation? SESSION FEATURES: DESIGNING IDEAS • INTERACTIVE • GROUP DISCUSSION Lack of sanitation diminishes people’s overall health, education, and safety—it results in an estimated $260 billion worth of lost productivity, increases healthcare costs, and leads to premature death. Notably, poor sanitation and hygiene result in diarrheal diseases which kills 1.8 million people annually, 90 percent of which are children under five years of age. Further, poor sanitation disproportionately impacts women—for example, more than 50 percent of girls worldwide attend schools without sanitation systems leading to increased absenteeism during menstruation. In this session, CGI members will reimagine how to:• support NGOs and private enterprises in building sanitation infrastructure for both urban and rural environments• assist entrepreneurs in providing sanitation solutions to their local communities• design sanitation services to keep girls safe and in school REMARKS: Martin Riant, Executive Sponsor, Global Sustainability and Group President, Global Baby, Feminine & Family Care, Procter & Gamble MODERATOR: Sandy Speicher, Associate Partner and Managing Director, Education, IDEO PARTICIPANTS: Jay Gould, President and Chief Executive Officer, American Standard Brands Raya, “Cleaner, Happier, Healthier” Campaign, Sesame Street Scalable Ideas: Pitching for Partnerships SESSION FEATURES: COMMITMENT PITCHES • INTERACTIVE • NETWORKING Commitment-makers “pitch” their Commitments to Action to an expert panel, then network with the audience to rethink their current strategies, identify potential resources, and establish innovative partnerships. This session will highlight commitment-makers’ work in global health and on girls’ and women’s issues.

V. Shankar, Chief Executive Officer, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Americas, Standard Chartered Bank SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS 2:30 PM - 3:45 PM Driving the Early Childhood Development Agenda SESSION FEATURES: NETWORKING • INTERACTIVE The early years of a child’s development are critical building blocks that set the foundation for future success. Investing in high-quality early childhood development (ECD) initiatives generates economic growth by improving health, education, and workforce outcomes. Building on the momentum of current research and other Annual Meeting sessions focused on ECD, CGI is interested in identifying members’ ECD priority areas.In this session, CGI members will be provided with an analysis of the current state of ECD Commitments to Action. Members will engage in an interactive strategy session to identify the current critical needs of children, gaps, new ideas, and opportunities for collaboration to set the course of CGI’s future ECD efforts. PARTICIPANTS: Pia Britto, Senior Advisor, Early Childhood Development, UNICEF Elephants Action Network SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE Members of the Elephant Action Network will come together to discuss their CGI Commitments to Action—and the immediate next steps for 2015—needed to halt the poaching and killing of African elephants and to curb the rising demand for their ivory. In this session, CGI members will examine the progress made over the last year and efforts currently underway, focusing specifically on the following topics:• Stop the Poaching: What are the available resources in areas of advanced technology, training, and capacity building to support anti-poaching efforts?• Stop the Trafficking: How can we achieve better intelligence gathering through technology and training to cripple ivory supply chains in Africa and Asia?• Stop the Demand: Who is purchasing ivory in China, how do we halt the rise in ivory purchases, and how can we use available data to develop and implement more efficient demand reduction strategies? …; Added by chris macrae at 4:50am on September 24, 2014

Catherine Ashton, Baroness Ashton of Upholland, PC (born 20 March 1956) is a British Labour politician who in 2009 became the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy for the European Union. Under the Treaty of Lisbon, this post is combined with the post of Vice-President of the European Commission. Her political career began in 1999 when she was created a Life Peer (Baroness Ashton of Upholland) by the Labour Government. Under this government she became the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department for Education and Skills in 2001 and subsequently in the Department for Constitutional Affairs and Ministry of Justice in 2004. She became a Privy Councillor (PC) in May 2006. Catherine Ashton was appointed Leader of the House of Lords and Lord President of the Queen's Privy Council in Gordon Brown’s first Cabinet in June 2007. As well as Leader of the Lords, she held responsibility in the House of Lords for equalities issues, and she was instrumental in steering the EU's Treaty of Lisbon through the UK's upper chamber. In 2008, she succeeded Peter Mandelson as Commissioner for Trade in the European Commission. In December 2009, she became the first person to take on the role of High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy that was created by the Treaty of Lisbon. As High Representative, Baroness Ashton serves as the EU's foreign policy chief.[1] Contents [hide] 1 Early life 2 Early career in the United Kingdom 3 EU Trade Commissioner 4 Appointment as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy 4.1 Controversy surrounding appointment 5 Responsibilities as High Representative 6 Criticism 6.1 Responses to criticism 7 Honours, awards and assessment 8 Personal life 9 References 10 External links Early life Catherine Ashton was born in Upholland, Lancashire on 20 March 1956.[2][3] She comes from a working class family, with a background in coal mining going back generations.[4][5] She attended Upholland Grammar School in Billinge Higher End, Lancashire, then Wigan Mining and Technical College inWigan.[6] Ashton graduated with a BSc in Sociology in 1977 from Bedford College, London (now part of Royal Holloway, University of London). She was the first person in her family to attend University.[4][5][7][8][9] Early career in the United Kingdom Between 1977 and 1983 Ashton worked for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) as an administrator and in 1982 was elected as its national treasurer and subsequently as one of its vice-chairs. From 1979 to 1981 she was Business Manager of The Coverdale Organisation, a management consultancy.[10][11] As of 1983 she worked for the Central Council for Education and Training in Social Work.[12] From 1983 to 1989 she was Director of Business in the Community working with business to tackle inequality, and established the Employers' Forum on Disability, Opportunity Now, and the Windsor Fellowship.[citation needed] For most of the 1990s, she worked as a freelance policy adviser.[8][13] She chaired the Health Authority inHertfordshire from 1998 to 2001, and her children's school governing body, and became a Vice President of the National Council for One Parent Families. She was made a Labour life peer as Baroness Ashton of Upholland in 1999, under Prime Minister Tony Blair. In June 2001 she was appointedParliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department for Education and Skills. In 2002 she was appointed minister for Sure Start in the same department. In September 2004, she was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary in the Department for Constitutional Affairs, with responsibilities including the National Archives and the Public Guardianship Office. Ashton was sworn of the Privy Council in 2006, and became Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the new Ministry of Justice in May 2007. In 2005 she was voted "Minister of the Year" by The House Magazine and "Peer of the Year" by Channel 4. In 2006 she won the "Politician of the Year" award at the annual Stonewall Awards, awarded to those that have made a positive impact on the lives of British LGBT people.[14] On 28 June 2007 the new Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, appointed her to the Cabinet as Leader of the House of Lords and Lord President of the Council.[15] As Leader of the House, she was responsible for passing the Lisbon Treaty through the House of Lords.[16] EU Trade Commissioner On 3 October 2008, she was nominated to replace Peter Mandelson as the UK's European Commissioner in Brussels. European Commissioners may not engage in any other occupation during their term of office, whether gainful or not[17] so, in order to take up her position, she used the procedural device previously used in 1984 by Lord Cockfield[18] and took a leave of absence from the House of Lords on 14 October 2008,[19] retaining her peerage but not her seat.[20] Her appointment as Trade Commissioner was scrutinised by the European Parliament. She was criticised by Daniel Hannan, a British Conservative MEP, saying that she had "no background in trade issues at a time when the EU is engaged in critical negotiations with Canada, Korea and the WTO".[21] However, following her public confirmation hearing by the Trade Committee of theEuropean Parliament, Ashton was approved by the Parliament on 22 October 2008 with 538 to 40 votes, and 63 abstentions.[22] In May 2009 after twenty years of disputes she represented the EU leading to an end of the beef war with US,[23] [24] In October 2009 as Trade Commissioner she concluded what was described by some commentators as ‘the most important trade agreement ever negotiated between the European Union and a third country’ Ashton led the EU delegation in an agreement that removed virtually all tariffs between the two economies.[25] [26] [27] In November 2009 she represented the EU to end the twenty year old ‘banana wars’. "After so many twists and turns, these complicated and politically contentious disputes can finally be put to bed," said Pascal Lamy head of the World Trade Organisation, "It has taken so long that quite a few people who worked on the cases, both in the secretariat and in member governments have retired long ago”.[28] Appointment as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Ashton with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Further information: High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy#Ashton On 19 November 2009, Ashton was appointed the EU's first High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Her appointment was agreed by a summit of 27 European Union leaders in Brussels. After actively pushing for former British Prime Minister Tony Blairto become President of the European Council, Gordon Brown eventually relented on the condition that the High Representative position was awarded to a Briton.[29][30] Baroness Ashton receives a salary package of £328,000, which is larger than the salaries of UK Prime Minister David Cameron, French PresidentFrançois Hollande, or US President Barack Obama.[31] However, it is lower than the salary of the President of the European Commission.[32][33] Ashton's position also presides over several European institutions, including the European Union Institute for Security Studies as the Chair of its Board. Controversy surrounding appointment Ashton's relative obscurity caused considerable comment in the media with The Guardian newspaper reporting that her appointment as High Representative had received a 'cautious welcome as EU foreign minister from international relations experts'.[34] The Economist described her as being a virtual unknown with paltry political experience, having no foreign-policy background and having never been elected to anything. The magazine did however credit her with having piloted the Lisbon Treaty through the House of Lords, having handled the European Commission's trade portfolio without falling out with her colleagues, and being suited to consensus-building.[35] On the one hand, critics say she is likely to be out of her depth, never having been elected to any office. For example, on her appointment, the associate editor of The Spectator, and former editor of BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Rod Liddle, wrote: "Never elected by anyone, anywhere, totally unqualified for almost every job she has done, she has risen to her current position presumably through a combination of down-the-line Stalinist political correctness and the fact that she has the charisma of a caravan site on the Isle of Sheppey."[36] According to The Guardian, an anonymous Whitehall source remarked: "Cathy just got lucky...The appointment of her and Herman Van Rompuy [as European Council president] was a complete disgrace. They are no more than garden gnomes."[3] On the other hand, Shami Chakrabarti, the director of a pressure group called Liberty, who became friends with Ashton when she was a minister at the Department of Constitutional Affairs, said her critics were wrong: "People underestimate Cathy at their peril. She is not a great big bruiser. She is a persuader and a charmer. That is the secret of her success."[3] Her friend, Ian McCartney, MP, said on her appointment: "She is a Wigan girl who has really made good... She is supportive of working people and has never forgotten her roots."[37]The morning after her appointment, Ashton told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "Over the next few months and years I aim to show that I am the best person for the job. I hope that my particular set of skills will show that in the end I am the best choice."[3] Responsibilities as High Representative Further information: High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy As High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, a post that was combined with Vice-President of the European Commission, Ashton was elected by the Heads of State and Government of the 27 European Union countries at a summit in Brussels. Besides representing the EU at international forums and coordinating the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy, the High Representative also: As Vice-President of the European Commission, she participates in the weekly meeting of the European Commission. Participates in the meetings of the European Council, where all EU leaders meet. Is head of the European External Action Service Responsible for the European Union Special Representatives President of the Foreign Affairs Council President of the European Defence Agency Chair of the board of the European Union Institute for Security Studies During her term in office she and her team have given priority to a number of European and global issues. These include: Participation in the Quartet negotiations on the Middle East Peace Process Leading European negotiations with Iran over its controversial Nuclear programme Responding to the Arab Spring with a new European Neighbourhood Policy (May 2011), to provide funding and market access to North Africa Supporting democratic forces in Libya by opening an EU office in Benghazi in May 2011 and supporting the National Transitional Council Building a European consensus to establish sanctions against the Assad regime in Syria Strengthening relations with the EU’s Strategic Partners such as the US, Russia, China, Brazil, India and South Africa In the Balkans, forging renewed talks between Serbs and Kosovars (“Belgrade-Pristina" dialogue) Negotiating an upgraded status for the EU at the UN as foreseen under the Lisbon Treaty Establishing the European External Action Service (1 December 2010), which merged the external relations departments of the European Commission, Council of the European Union, and will have diplomats seconded from national foreign services. In May 2012 as EU High Representative and working with EU Special Representative Alexander Rondos, she headed Operation Atalanta – an EU military action off the coast of Somalia, which curtailed piracy. On 24th April 2013, she played a major role in brokering a deal[] between Serbia and Kosovo which normalised their ties. This followed her mediation of 10 rounds of talks between Serbia's Prime Minister Ivica Dacic and Hashim Thaci, Prime Minister of Kosovo.[ Criticism Ashton (far right) with the rest of the Quartet on the Middle East (2010) Ashton faced questions in the European Parliament over her role as national treasurer in the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the 1980s, amid claims by its opponents that it may have had financial links to the Soviet Union. The eurosceptic United Kingdom Independence Party has written to Jose Manuel Barroso, the European Commission President, asking him to investigate whether Ashton was party to payments that he alleged were made to CND from the Soviet regime in Moscow. Ashton’s office refused to discuss CND’s funding in detail. It merely said that she “left CND in 1983 and had no involvement after that”.[citation needed] French journalist Agnès Poirier has criticized her for the fact that she cannot speak any foreign languages.[44] In February 2010, it emerged that Ashton had been heavily criticised within the EU community for a number of actions, including her failure to visitHaiti in the wake of the earthquake and her lack of leadership abilities during ministerial meetings and policy briefings. Senior officials within her team complained that she speaks only in "generalities". She was also criticised for a lack of commitment to the job, allegedly switching off her phone after 8 pm every day.[45] Ashton came under further criticism, including explicit criticism from national defence ministers Hervé Morin, Carme Chacón, Jack de Vries, and EU minister Pierre Lellouche, for her failure to attend the European Defence Summit in Majorca.[46] In February 2011, Baroness Ashton received the lowest grade in a survey rating the performance of European Commissioners. The survey, carried out by lobbying and PR company Burson-Marsteller, asked 324 Brussels policy-makers to rate the European Commissioners with a grade A to E (A being the highest). Lady Ashton, a commission vice-president as well as the EU's high representative for foreign affairs, scored an E for her performance. She was the only Commissioner to receive a grade below D.[47] In March 2012, Ashton was criticised by several newspapers for comparing the shooting of Jewish children in Toulouse with the situation in Gaza.[48][49] Ashton said to Palestinian youths at a UNRWA event, “When we think of what happened in Toulouse today, when we remember what happened in Norway a year ago, when we know what is happening in Syria, when we see what is happening in Gaza and Sderot and in different parts of the world – we remember young people and children who lose their lives.”[50] After she was misquoted in the press as having not mentionedSderot, Israeli ministers denounced her for equating the murder of three children and a rabbi in the shooting attack with the situation in Gaza. Her spokesman stated that her remark had been “grossly distorted” and that she had also referenced Israeli victims in Sderot, but this fact had been incorrectly omitted from the original transcript.[51][52][53] In September 2012, the Daily Telegraph criticised her European Commission attendance record, reporting that Baroness Ashton had been completely absent from 21 out of 32 weekly meetings held so far that year.[54] Responses to criticism Ashton has argued that much of the criticism she faces is a result of the "latent sexism" within the EU community.[45] She has also told the press that the lack of resources provided to her, such as not having her own plane, is holding her back in her work.[55] European External Action Service (EEAS) Secretary General Pierre Vimont defended Ashton from criticism, stating that her work in opening the EEAA office in Benghazi, Libya has boosted the EEAS's popularity in Libya. He also supported her work on Syria and has asked her to stand for a second term. Polish Minister for European and Economic Affairs Mikolaj Dowgielewicz has also stated that criticism against Ashton is "a lot of hot air" and that "she has an impossible job to do and she is doing it well. At the end of her time in office, people will be more positive about what she has done. She will leave a real legacy."[56] Honours, awards and assessment In February 2013 she was assessed as one of the 100 most powerful women in the United Kingdom by Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4.[57] Personal life She lives in London with her husband, Peter Kellner, the President of online polling organisation, YouGov.[58] She has two children, and three stepchildren. …; Added by chris macrae at 1:52pm on July 4, 2013

Governments, civil society, and businesses need to redefine value to address not just the economic but the social and environmental challenges of the 21st century. In this session, key leaders across sectors will reimagine how CGI members can: • identify which indicators and measurement systems can be implemented to drive progress for the public, private, and non-profit sectors • assess and internalize externalities and non-quantifiable outcomes to provide a broader picture of impact • utilize big data to capture, analyze, and drive results in both real time and over the long term MODERATOR: Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair, Clinton Foundation PARTICIPANTS: Mary Barra, Chief Executive Officer, General Motors Company Jack Ma, Executive Chairman, Alibaba Group Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Finance Minister, Federal Republic of Nigeria Darren Walker, President, Ford Foundation BREAKOUT SESSIONS 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM CGI Conversation hosted by CNBC's Becky Quick Do Consumers Care? SESSION FEATURES: FILMED FOR BROADCAST • PANEL The global economic crisis that took hold six years ago and the subsequent recession raised new hopes, expectations, and fears about the relationship between corporations and consumers. While more than 50 percent of consumers worldwide say that they are willing to reward companies that give back to society, they often still pick the easy and affordable options that provide short-term gratification and convenience. Corporations are exploring how to produce meaningfully sustainable products and services that are better for consumer health, fairer to those who produce them, and cleaner for our planet, while also helping consumers navigate an abundance of choices. As the relationship between business and consumers continues to reset after the economic crisis, CEOs in this panel discussion will: • identify the role consumers expect corporations and their leaders to play in moving society and economic opportunity, as well as innovation, forward • explore the value of socially-responsible corporate efforts to investors and which social benefits all stakeholders expect corporations to provide • determine ways for CGI members to promote transparency and understanding between business and society, enabling consumers to make educated purchasing decisions that are in their long-term interests MODERATOR: Becky Quick, Co-anchor, Squawk Box, CNBC Opening Conversation: PARTICIPANTS: President Bill Clinton, Founding Chairman, Clinton Global Initiative; 42nd President of the United States Panel Discussion: PARTICIPANTS: Antony Jenkins, Group Chief Executive, Barclays Penny Pritzker, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, U.S. Department of Commerce Tony James, President and COO, Blackstone Closing Conversation: PARTICIPANTS: John P.

However, access to and the affordability of higher education continue to widen the gap between those seeking to become career-ready and the employers seeking skilled talent to fill current and future workforce demands. Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have enormous potential to provide access to high-quality coursework to tens of millions of students around the world, and offer an untraditional pathway to attaining employable skills critical to diminishing the existing skills gap. In this session, CGI members will learn strategies for harnessing this innovative learning model—with the support of third-party accreditation—to build a highly-skilled global workforce. REMARKS: Anant Agarwal, Chief Executive Officer, edX Tim Bozik, President, Higher Education, Pearson MODERATOR: Zoë Baird, CEO and President, Markle Market Mechanisms as Tools in the Fight Against Human Trafficking SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE Increasingly, anti-slavery advocates are employing market-based industry incentives such as investment, capacity building, and market access to companies in high-slavery-risk industries willing to transform their practices. The end goal is a better product made by happier—and safer—workers. This session will garner lessons from several Commitments to Action made by CGI members that utilize this approach, in industries ranging from agriculture to household goods. Members will discuss successful market interventions, examine strategies for replicating and scaling innovative initiatives, and identify potential new partnerships in this space. REMARKS: Greg Asbed, Co-founder, Coalition of Immokalee Workers Lucas Benitez, Co-founder, Coalition of Immokalee Workers Cheryl Queen, Vice President, Communication, Compass Group USA Mobile Partnerships for Financial Inclusion SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE One person out of every three in the world lacks access to the most basic financial services provided by banks and insurance companies. Serving this population—namely those living at the bottom of the pyramid—through micro-lending, micro-savings, and micro-insurance initiatives has proven successful in achieving pathways to economic stability and more sustained prosperity. Mobile technology in particular has given rise to new and innovative ways to deliver those services to the people who need them most, yet this population remains largely untapped. In this session, CGI members will discuss why large, established financial service providers across the globe often struggle to work with consumers at the bottom of the pyramid, and how the development of new partnerships with organization more adept at operating in the sector—from NGOs to telecommunications companies—can lead to greater empowerment, stability, and economic gains for all. PARTICIPANTS: Cherie Blair, Founder, Cherie Blair Foundation for Women Arjuna Costa, Investment Partner, Omidyar Network Lawrence Yanovitch, President , GSMA Mobile Development Foundation Proving the Interdependence of Conservation, Profitability, and Economic Growth SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE CGI members—from key business leaders to local NGOs—have made significant strides in developing operational and financial frameworks and tools for conserving, restoring, and using nature sustainably. Developed as core business priorities, as part of economic development plans, or as conservation-focused initiatives, these cross-sector efforts recognize the value of linking the economy and nature to ensure the long-term viability of the world’s ecosystems. This session will highlight specific examples that illustrate this relationship across industries, issues, and geographies. CGI members will identify potential pathways to hasten the adoption of tools that prioritize both economic and environmental value. Advances in wild sourcing, ecosystem services valuation, human and environmental health, response and resiliency, ocean and terrestrial conservation, and the role of women in promoting environmental stewardship will be examined.

The Business Case for Preparedness SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE Since 1970, the number of people exposed to large-scale floods and tropical cyclones has doubled. In addition to the humanitarian toll, the cost of international humanitarian aid rose 430 percent between 2004 and 2013. The economic implications of natural disasters extend to businesses, driving up internal expenditures and creating challenges for their customers. Typically, large-scale disasters prompt spontaneous participation of the private sector in emergency response—but business can play a much larger role in helping to enhance an at-risk country’s preparedness before a disaster strikes. A region that is increasingly attracting investors and business operations, Southeast Asia, also has a history of vulnerability to natural disasters, including the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, and most recently, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in November 2013. In this session, CGI members will draw on lessons learned in the aftermath of the typhoon as well as other past disasters, and explore strategies that leverage the business community’s capacities for continuity and resiliency planning aimed at reducing vulnerability while increasing their competitive advantage. PARTICIPANTS: Eric Cesal, Executive Director, Architecture For Humanity Joe Gebbia, Co-founder and Chief Product Officer, Airbnb, Inc. Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategies SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • INTERACTIVE Protecting women’s sexual and reproductive health is paramount to truly empowering women, and is essential to poverty alleviation. However, various challenges to maternal and neonatal health remain, and are further compounded by vague support systems. For example, fistula, a condition resulting from prolonged obstructed labor or sexual violence, often leads to the marginalization of women by their societies, stigmatizing them and sentencing them to a life of dependency. Despite being a preventable and treatable condition, approximately 2 to 4 million women in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East remain untreated. This session will bring together CGI members who are employing holistic solutions to address maternal health challenges—from tackling structural systems that increase the prevalence of child marriage or access to human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations, to empowering those living with fistula to regain their health and financial independence. Members will explore new opportunities for creative collaboration to protect the sexual and reproductive health and rights of all women.

With an estimated five million migrants moving to cities each month, the rapid pace of urbanization globally has left many with limited access to essential services, most notably affecting the one billion people living in slums. Despite this, urban dwellers have built a $10 trillion informal economy. They have used their cities as laboratories of innovation and entrepreneurship, and have worked to create solutions that bridge gaps in the provision of financial services, health care, and transportation. In this session, key leaders across sectors will reimagine how CGI members can: • identify tools that can be used to unlock the inherent innovation occurring in cities, helping residents drive business and economic growth • build networks of collaboration to scale up and replicate solutions at the national and global levels MODERATORS: Mohammad Parham Al Awadhi, Co-founder, Peeta Planet Peyman Parham Al Awadhi, Co-founder, Peeta Planet PARTICIPANTS: Uridéia Andrade, Alumna, Gastromotiva Emmanuel Chiezie, Project Co-ordinator, Dr. Aloy & Gesare Chife Foundation Gesare Chife, Executive Director, Dr. Aloy & Gesare Chife Foundation Matt Damon, Co-founder, Water.org David Hertz, Founder and CEO, Gastromotiva Gary White, CEO and Co-founder, Water.org Closing Conversation: REMARKS: President Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States Commitment Announcements: REMARKS: President Bill Clinton, Founding Chairman, Clinton Global Initiative; 42nd President of the United States BREAKOUT SESSIONS 2:30 PM - 3:45 PM CGI Conversation hosted by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria The Pulse of Global Progress SESSION FEATURES: FILMED FOR BROADCAST • PANEL Solving the world’s greatest challenges requires vision, commitment, and leadership.

SESSION FEATURES: DESIGNING IDEAS • INTERACTIVE • GROUP DISCUSSION Lack of sanitation diminishes people’s overall health, education, and safety—it results in an estimated $260 billion worth of lost productivity, increases healthcare costs, and leads to premature death. Notably, poor sanitation and hygiene result in diarrheal diseases which kills 1.8 million people annually, 90 percent of which are children under five years of age. Further, poor sanitation disproportionately impacts women—for example, more than 50 percent of girls worldwide attend schools without sanitation systems leading to increased absenteeism during menstruation. In this session, CGI members will reimagine how to: • support NGOs and private enterprises in building sanitation infrastructure for both urban and rural environments • assist entrepreneurs in providing sanitation solutions to their local communities • design sanitation services to keep girls safe and in school REMARKS: Martin Riant, Executive Sponsor, Global Sustainability and Group President, Global Baby, Feminine & Family Care, Procter & Gamble MODERATOR: Sandy Speicher, Associate Partner and Managing Director, Education, IDEO PARTICIPANTS: Jay Gould, President and Chief Executive Officer, American Standard Brands Raya, “Cleaner, Happier, Healthier” Campaign, Sesame Street Scalable Ideas: Pitching for Partnerships SESSION FEATURES: COMMITMENT PITCHES • INTERACTIVE • NETWORKING Commitment-makers “pitch” their Commitments to Action to an expert panel, then network with the audience to rethink their current strategies, identify potential resources, and establish innovative partnerships.

Investing in high-quality early childhood development (ECD) initiatives generates economic growth by improving health, education, and workforce outcomes. Building on the momentum of current research and other Annual Meeting sessions focused on ECD, CGI is interested in identifying members’ ECD priority areas. In this session, CGI members will be provided with an analysis of the current state of ECD Commitments to Action. Members will engage in an interactive strategy session to identify the current critical needs of children, gaps, new ideas, and opportunities for collaboration to set the course of CGI’s future ECD efforts. PARTICIPANTS: Pia Britto, Senior Advisor, Early Childhood Development, UNICEF Elephants Action Network http://new.livestream.com/CGI/CGI2014/videos/62952262 SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE Members of the Elephant Action Network will come together to discuss their CGI Commitments to Action—and the immediate next steps for 2015—needed to halt the poaching and killing of African elephants and to curb the rising demand for their ivory. In this session, CGI members will examine the progress made over the last year and efforts currently underway, focusing specifically on the following topics: • Stop the Poaching: What are the available resources in areas of advanced technology, training, and capacity building to support anti-poaching efforts? • Stop the Trafficking: How can we achieve better intelligence gathering through technology and training to cripple ivory supply chains in Africa and Asia? • Stop the Demand: Who is purchasing ivory in China, how do we halt the rise in ivory purchases, and how can we use available data to develop and implement more efficient demand reduction strategies? Networking for the Middle East and Africa SESSION FEATURES: NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE The Middle East and Africa have been experiencing profound social and economic changes over the past several decades—fostering a favorable environment for creative cooperation and innovation to achieve prosperity. By joining forces, the private sector, government, and civil society can mobilize efforts to help overcome some of the region’s most pressing challenges, such as access to quality education and natural resource management. This session will bring together CGI members from, or with interests in, the Middle East and Africa to exchange ideas and network around how to best utilize the CGI community to generate solutions. Non-Communicable Diseases Action Network SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE The global burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs)—including cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes—currently accounts for 63 percent of global deaths. Of these fatalities, 80 percent occur in low- and middle-income countries, significantly impacting global productivity and well-being. This session will bring together CGI members from both the public and private sectors to identify new partnership opportunities and Commitments to Action aimed at curbing the rise of NCDs. Members will build on the progress made by the NCD Action Network since 2011, and focus on solutions including the prevention of chronic disease risk factors and improved access to quality treatment. PARTICIPANTS: Sally G. Cowal, Senior Vice President, Global Health, American Cancer Society, Inc. Jeffrey L. Sturchio, President and CEO, Rabin Martin Nalini Saligram, Founder and CEO, Arogya World Derek Yach, Executive Director, Vitality Institute The Democratic Republic of Congo Action Network SESSION FEATURES: NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has the potential to be the breadbasket of Africa—however, political instability, civil conflict, and lack of investment has hindered the economic trajectory of the country. Agricultural production has fallen 40 percent since 1990, and nearly 70 percent of the country’s 68 million people are classified by the United Nations as under-nourished. These nutritional and employment challenges can be alleviated by sustainable efforts including agricultural investment. In this session, CGI members will learn about the DRC Action Network while further exploring long-term solutions, as well as hear from current commitment-makers and identifying potential partnerships. PARTICIPANTS: Ertharin Cousin, Executive Director, United Nations World Food Programme Willy Foote, Founder and CEO, Root Capital PLENARY SESSION 4:15 PM - 5:30 PM NB Putting Education to Work -jobs africa http://new.livestream.com/CGI/CGI2014/videos/62947509 kickstart ikea Globally, nearly 75 million or 13 percent of young people are unemployed. In the Middle East and North Africa region, this number rises to more than 28 percent. The issue is compounded when factoring in the over 127 million adults worldwide who are also unemployed. Meanwhile, 40 percent of employers in the United States, 65 percent of Brazilian employers, and 64 percent of Indian employers report they are unable to fill job vacancies, potentially causing billions of dollars in losses. Connecting youth and adults to a value chain stretching from education to job opportunities is essential for achieving long-term economic growth and unlocking the human talent that drives the prosperity of businesses. In this session, key leaders across sectors will reimagine how CGI members can: • collaborate across sectors—specifically companies, government, education, and training providers—to create real education-to-employment journeys for young people, as well as skills conversion for adults • eliminate the barriers that keep those traditionally left behind from gaining meaningful employment opportunities MODERATOR: Nicholas Kristof, Columnist and Author, The New York Times PARTICIPANTS: John Chambers, Chairman and CEO, Cisco Reem Al Hashimy, Minister of State, United Arab Emirates Nisreen Mitwally, Alumna, Education For Employment (EFE) Ashish Thakkar, Founder, Mara Group;, Founder, Mara Foundation Commitment Announcements: REMARKS: Hillary Rodham Clinton, Former U.S. Secretary of State and U.S. Senator from New York SPECIAL EVENT 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM The Future of Global Economic Growth: Proving the Case for Women Entrepreneurs Hosted by Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women SESSION FEATURES: OFF-SITE LOCATION • PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED Hosted by CGI Sponsors, Topic Dinners provide a forum to discuss challenges and opportunities within specific focus areas, and allow CGI members to meet others with similar interests.

The Role of the Private Sector in Supporting Education Dinner hosted by The Varkey GEMS Foundation SESSION FEATURES: OFF-SITE LOCATION • PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED Globally, more than 58 million children are out of school, millions more are in education but not learning, and huge disparities remain between what many children do learn and the skills they need to succeed in life and work. By failing to nurture the talent of young people, poor education systems are holding back economic expansion and productivity. A third of CEOs globally are concerned that this skills shortage will negatively impact their companies’ ability to innovate. Inequalities in educational opportunity also weaken the social and political stability needed for businesses to thrive. Business Backs Education is a global advocacy campaign that encourages businesses to more proactively increase their investment in educational initiatives in areas of greatest need.Launched at the Global Education & Skills Forum 2014 by the Varkey GEMS Foundation—with partners UNESCO and the Coalition for Business Engagement–the program’s primary goal is for businesses to commit at least 20 percent of corporate social responsibility, social impact, or sustainability budget toward educational initiatives by 2020. They are encouraged to achieve this by actively engaging with and supporting the public sector in supporting education outcomes. MODERATOR: Fareed Zakaria, Host, Fareed Zakaria GPS, CNN PARTICIPANTS: Hugh Grant, Chairman and CEO, Monsanto Company Vikas Pota, Chief Executive Officer, Varkey GEMS Foundation, Group Director, Corporate Affairs, GEMS Education Tony James, President and COO, Blackstone Hans Vestberg, President and CEO, Ericsson How Higher Education Can Ensure That All Students Are College and Career Ready Dinner hosted by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation SESSION FEATURES: OFF-SITE LOCATION • PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED Nearly 9 out of 10 community college leaders say students arrive unprepared for college-level work, and more than a third of four-year college leaders say the same. Today, more and more higher education leaders are stepping up with solutions to tackle the problem, including promoting the Common Core State Standards which outline the learning goals that each student should have attained by the end of each grade. In fact, no one is better positioned than higher education to help Americans understand that rigorous standards like these are necessary for students to succeed in high school, through college, and into their careers. At this dinner, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners will explore higher educations’ responsibility to partner with K-12 and early learning, define its role over the education cycle, and highlight best practices from cooperative efforts already underway. REMARKS: Muriel Howard, President, American Association of State Colleges and Universities Nivine Megahed, President, National Louis University Gavin Payne, Director, Policy & Advocacy, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Nancy L. Zimpher, Chancellor, The State University of New York Partnerships to Scale Sustainability Engagement for the Environment and the Economy SESSION FEATURES: OFF-SITE LOCATION • PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED Residential energy use has significant repercussions on environment and economic situations locally and globally—for example, today in the United States, $241 billion is spent annually on residential home energy. Between 1999 and 2010, home energy consumption increased by 32 percent, driving up costs dramatically. Simultaneously, private sector wages dropped 7.5 percent between 2008 and 2010. Home energy savings can lower costs by hundreds of dollars while reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment. As a result, local governments and the private sector are finding new and innovative ways to help individuals and families adapt energy efficient retrofits to their homes. This dinner will share best practices in emerging models that use employee energy benefits to further sustainability engagement, and will identify partnerships that can help these models scale in the U.S. and globally. PARTICIPANTS: Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, President of the Republic of Iceland Dymphna van der Lans, Chief Executive Officer, Clinton Climate Initiative Amory Lovins, Chairman Emeritus and Chief Scientist, Rocky Mountain Institute Gerry Mato, Chief Executive Officer, Capital Financing, Americas , HSBC Equality for Girls and Women: 2034 Instead of 2134? http://new.livestream.com/CGI/CGI2014/videos/62996756 http://new.livestream.com/CGI/CGI2014/videos/63004584 When women participate in the economy and politics, the positive effects ripple across entire societies. Imagine a world where women make up half of CEOs, executives, government officials, and landowners, and whose salaries equal men’s. What if this world also ensured that girls and women were as educated and as healthy as men, and were free from violence, trafficking, and abuse? While tremendous progress has been made over the last 20 years in achieving equality for girls and women around the world, the pace of change needs to be significantly accelerated. For example, with current projections, women will not comprise half of the world’s elected representatives until 2065 or half the world’s leaders until 2134. In this session, key leaders across sectors will reimagine how CGI members can: • examine the progress that has been made since the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, and what challenges remain • build the foundation for women’s equality and societies’ prosperity through increased access to finance and land, while addressing socio-cultural norms • utilize transformative levers, such as social media and data, to accelerate progress Opening Conversation: MODERATOR: David Leonhardt, Editor, The Upshot, The New York Times PARTICIPANTS: Hillary Rodham Clinton, Former U.S. Secretary of State and U.S. Senator from New York Melinda Gates, Co-chair and Trustee, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Panel Discussion: MODERATOR: Katie Couric, Global Anchor, Yahoo News PARTICIPANTS: Hikmet Ersek, President, CEO and Director, The Western Union Company Leymah Gbowee, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, 2011, President, Gbowee Peace Foundation Africa Nilofar Sakhi, Chief Executive Officer, American University of Afghanistan Commitment Announcements: REMARKS: Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair, Clinton Foundation SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Taking Charge of Girls’ Education SESSION FEATURES: NETWORKING • INTERACTIVE The number of children attending primary school has significantly increased in the past two decades, and the gap between boys’ and girls’ attendance has narrowed in many countries. However, there are still far fewer girls than boys in secondary school in many regions, and girls face additional barriers to completing secondary school with the skills they need to succeed—including threats to their safety and inadequate quality and learning opportunities. A new consortium commitment aims to address these “second generation” issues, particularly in some of the most difficult to reach and marginalized communities across the globe. The consortium will: ensure that girls can attend and complete primary and secondary school; make schools safer and more secure; improve the quality of learning for girls; support the transition to higher education and employment; and cultivate local country leaders to champion this work at the grassroots level. This session will build off the momentum of this collaborative effort by more than 20 companies, civil society, multilateral organizations, and governments. CGI members are encouraged to join in the discussion to learn more about the consortium and to explore partnership opportunities across the CGI community to improve learning and leadership opportunities for young women around the world. BREAKOUT SESSIONS 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM CGI Conversation hosted by CNN's Erin Burnett The Tenth Meeting: Turning Ideas into Action SESSION FEATURES: FILMED FOR BROADCAST • PANEL President Bill Clinton began CGI in 2005 with the idea that leaders across sectors often discussed great solutions worth testing, but needed help moving from ideas to action. Since CGI’s inception, participants have made more than 2,900 commitments, which are already improving the lives of more than 430 million people in over 180 countries. As CGI kicks off its tenth year, join President Clinton, CNN’s Erin Burnett, and a series of celebrities, business and government leaders, and philanthropists in a retrospective conversation on lessons learned since CGI was founded. Guests will discuss: • progress made on major global challenges since 2005 • lessons learned in the designing and implementing of social change programs across the world • critical issues driving the next decade’s agenda for action MODERATOR: Erin Burnett, Anchor, Erin Burnett OutFront, CNN PARTICIPANTS: President Bill Clinton, Founding Chairman, Clinton Global Initiative; 42nd President of the United States Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah, Queen of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Tony Blair, Former Prime Minister, United Kingdom Ashley Judd, Actor, Author, Advocate, Population Services International Zainab Salbi, Founder, Executive Producer and Co-Creator, Women for Women International; The Trials of Spring Haiti 2025 http://new.livestream.com/CGI/CGI2014 SESSION FEATURES: DEBATES • INTERACTIVE • GROUP DISCUSSION Since the formation of the Haiti Action Network in 2008, CGI members have galvanized more than $500 million for Commitments to Action when fully funded and implemented. As Haiti continues to recover from the devastating 2010 earthquake, foreign aid is waning while local and international businesses are increasing investments, supported by the government of Haiti. This session will highlight the work of the Haiti Action Network and debate the following questions: • Can CGI members continue designing and implementing Commitments to Action that build local capacity and have clear exit strategies to enable Haiti to prosper far into the future? • Can direct investments supporting Haitian entrepreneurship and business growth replace philanthropy? • Can the critical lessons learned from Haiti be applied to similar settings that have been impacted by natural disaster, conflict, and poverty? MODERATOR: Adam Davidson, Co-founder, NPR's Planet Money PARTICIPANTS: Nemdia Daceney, HELP Graduate, Haitian Education & Leadership Program Paul Farmer, Co-founder and Chief Strategist, Partners In Health, Kolokotrones University Professor, Harvard Medical School 33.15 paul farmer things i believe to be true about limits of private sector go back 25-30 years ago I used to read haitian papers and in one of them there was a physician /pathologist who wrote this article about divestment of the regime in healthcare to the point that general hospital had 80% of physicians leaving (in spite of being trained on the public dime) the piece was about someone at th etop of the regime who had an acute heart attack and then had no care because the health system had bene dismantled and I think that is just a reminder of something I saw again in liberia last week that without strong public sector investment in health care and education you cant grow the strong companies that we would need to build economy of eg in haiti -and that was rendered very clear to the haiti action network in 2010, the healthcare network destroyed couldnt respond to the injuries caused by the earthquake, so to put this in your terms : even with substanatial private sector growth their needs to public in vestment in healthcare and education - this is also an argument for strong and increasing tax based investment 50.54 rwanda heatlh care system and medical education (compares favorably even to china in terms of budget that goes to healtcare that is publicly funded over 5% of gdp - laggard would be india and all west africa country with ebola) 5200 happy story university hospital of mirebalais- there's no univrsrity here - we said yet! that infrastructure built for public sector by private sector i ns the magnet for bringing back medical experts who had left haiti - pulling people back to invest their haitaia talnens requires public investment -- and I also invite all univertities to join us in building mierabellais- Laurent Lamothe, Prime Minister, Republic of Haiti Denis O'Brien, Chairman, Digicel Norma Powell, Director General , Center for Facilitation of Investments //// SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Coding for Opportunity: Engaging Underrepresented Groups in Computer Science SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE Computer science (CS) is a key driver of technological innovation, bolstering economic competitiveness and job creation across industries and sectors. Expanding and strengthening CS learning opportunities along the educational pipeline is a business imperative, required to build a highly qualified workforce for the future. Foundational digital literacy is also essential for individuals to achieve full participation in the 21st century. Despite this, wide disparities exist in access to and engagement in CS education opportunities, namely for women and other underserved communities who are largely underrepresented in the field. In this session, CGI members will learn about current research on inequality in CS education—including innovative approaches that companies, NGOs, and advocacy groups are taking to lower barriers to entry and broaden participation. Members will examine strategies for scaling and replicating these successes around the world through collaborative action. MODERATOR: Kumar Garg, Assistant Director for Learning and Innovation, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy PARTICIPANTS: Joy Buolamwini, Founder, Zamrize: Turning Dreamers into Creators Shelly Esque, Chair, Intel Foundation and Vice President, Corporate Affairs, Intel Corp Jacquelline Fuller, Director, Google.org André J. Gudger, Director, Office of Small Business Programs and Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Manufacturing and Industrial Base Policy, U.S. Department of Defense Telle Whitney, Chief Executive Officer, Anita Borg Institute Investing in/Connecting Impact Entrepreneurs SESSION FEATURES: NETWORKING • INTERACTIVE As an increasing number of organizations are working to identify and cultivate entrepreneurs across the world, incubators and accelerators are being used as aggregation points for technical assistance, competitions, market linkages, and possible impact investments. This session will explore how CGI members are successfully helping to grow regional entrepreneurial ecosystems where risk-taking is encouraged, failure is accepted, and beta efforts are supported and scaled. How can we better connect impact entrepreneurs with earlier-stage investors to help them reach proof of concept and become investment-ready for larger investors or markets? PARTICIPANTS: Randall Kempner, Executive Director, Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs Myanmar Action Network SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • COMMITMENT DEVELOPMENT • INTERACTIVE Myanmar—a nation of 60 million people and one of the most exciting frontier markets in the world—has seen a dramatic increase in investment and activity resulting from an ambitious economic growth agenda. Opportunities abound to address critical social, economic, and environmental challenges while fueling growth. As the future of this emerging economy unfolds, inclusive efforts to design and invest in solutions that support enterprise development, expand educational opportunity, build the agricultural sector, enhance public health, improve critical infrastructure, and ensure financial inclusion will be essential. This session will serve as an opportunity for CGI members representing corporations, nongovernmental organizations, and social enterprises to explore strategies for responsible and inclusive investment in the social and economic development of the country. NETWORKING EVENT 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Lunch This informal networking opportunity will provide a dedicated space for members to enjoy lunch while making connections with fellow meeting attendees. BREAKOUT SESSIONS 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM Can impact investing prioritize profit, people, and the planet? http://new.livestream.com/CGI/CGI2014/videos/63009704 SESSION FEATURES: DEBATES • INTERACTIVE • GROUP DISCUSSION The impact investment market is currently estimated to hold around $40 billion in capital, and projections suggest that by 2020, the sector could reach $400 billion to $1 trillion. As new vehicles—such as development impact bonds and retail bonds—hold great promise for future scale, gaps remain. Notably, in the wake of unprecedented climate change disruptions and escalating global resource constraints, environmental value has failed to be addressed equally alongside social and financial gains. In this session, CGI members will debate the following questions: • Can impact investing preserve its original intent to create social and environmental returns, while accounting for scale and financial gains? • Can the field of environmental impact investing grow by addressing the challenges and opportunities of measurement and long-term sustainability? • Can bonds bridge the gap between financial gains and environmental and social returns for all stakeholders? MODERATOR: Elizabeth L. Littlefield, President and CEO, Overseas Private Investment Corporation PARTICIPANTS: Amy Bell, Executive Director, Social Finance, JPMorgan Chase & Co. Tammy Newmark, President and CEO, EcoEnterprises Fund Nick O'Donohoe, Chief Executive Officer, Big Society Capital Mark Tercek, President and CEO, The Nature Conservancy CGI Conversation hosted by CNN's Sanjay Gupta The Science of Success: Investing in Babies’ Minds SESSION FEATURES: FILMED FOR BROADCAST • PANEL A baby’s mind develops into an incredible intelligence machine—from zero to five years old, 700 new neural connections are formed every second. In this critical stage of life, parents and caregivers play a huge part in building their babies’ brains, fostering the abilities that will help them succeed in learning and working. Investing in early childhood development garners phenomenal returns—improving the future health, education, and income of children and creating higher-skilled workers whose increased level of productivity benefits their local economies and society as a whole. This conversation will guide CGI members in reimagining how to: • equip parents across the world with the tools necessary for providing their children with the best early start in life • identify proven early childhood interventions that reduce income inequality for individuals, increase economic opportunities for countries, and grow profits for businesses MODERATOR: Sanjay Gupta, Chief Medical Correspondent, CNN PARTICIPANTS: Geoffrey Canada, President, Harlem Children's Zone Hillary Rodham Clinton, Former U.S. Secretary of State and U.S. Senator from New York Nadine Burke Harris, Founder and CEO, Center for Youth Wellness Cindy McCain, Founding Member, Eastern Congo Initiative Rosemarie T. Truglio, Senior Vice President, Global Education Content, Sesame Workshop How can communities prevent and resolve the double burden of malnutrition? SESSION FEATURES: DESIGNING IDEAS • INTERACTIVE • GROUP DISCUSSION Today, 925 million people globally suffer from hunger and undernutrition, the greatest risk factors leading to disease, mostly in low- and middle-income countries. Simultaneously, developing countries are grappling with the onset of obesity, driven by the overconsumption of unhealthy calories. Mexico, for example, has surpassed the United States as the most obese country in the world, and China has transitioned from famine to obesity within one generation. The long-term and irreversible consequences of nutrition deficiency and obesity—including diabetes, heart disease, and other non-communicable diseases—affect 10 percent of adults and 30 million children worldwide. In this session, CGI members will reimagine how to: • support countries and communities in avoiding the shift from food scarcity to nutrition deficiency and overconsumption • increase food availability and optimal nutrition among the malnourished, whether they are undernourished or obese • promote better behaviors that result in healthier food choices and consumption MODERATOR: Sandy Speicher, Associate Partner and Managing Director, Education, IDEO PARTICIPANTS: Jay Naidoo, Chair of Board of Directors and Partnership Council, Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) Lucy Martinez Sullivan, Executive Director, 1,000 Days SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM Expanding Energy Access in Africa SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • INTERACTIVE Access to energy is a pressing challenge for the continent of Africa, where roughly 600 million people live without electricity. Partnerships aimed at deploying clean energy solutions and promoting universal electrification in Africa can help to bridge the gap in reliable access to energy. This session will consider how to increase private investment in sustainable energy in Africa, as well as how social entrepreneurs can innovate low-cost energy solutions for impoverished and off-grid communities. PARTICIPANTS: Francesco Starace, Chief Executive Officer, Enel S.p.A Resilient Cities Action Network SESSION FEATURES: NETWORKING • INTERACTIVE Rising sea levels, droughts, and increased frequency of storms are just some of the effects of climate change that cities must now address when constructing and maintaining built structures. The Resilient Cities Action Network addresses the topic of resilient cities through five interrelated angles: 1) design, 2) investment, 3) risk management, 4) social fabric, and 5) technology. This session will allow CGI members to assess the progress made on this topic since last years’ Annual Meeting and define future priorities. Business leaders and key government officials will work together identify cross-sector opportunities for action and collaboration. REMARKS: Mitchell J. Landrieu, Mayor, City of New Orleans Michael Nutter, Mayor, City of Philadelphia Responding to Ebola: Report from West Africa SESSION FEATURES: COLLECTIVE STRATEGIES • NETWORKING • INTERACTIVE The current Ebola outbreak in West Africa is a defining global health challenge of our time. As death tolls mount, and the virus continues to spread to additional countries, tens of thousands of people are likely to be infected. The outbreak has put an enormous strain on already-vulnerable health systems in countries like Liberia, and many more lives are at risk as health centers close, health care workers perish, and people lose access to basic health services. An urgent, well coordinated, extensive response is required to contain the outbreak, prevent further infections, avoid preventable deaths from causes other than Ebola, protect the health care workers caring for the sick, and strengthen public health systems to prevent future outbreaks. In this session, CGI members will discuss current efforts underway and explore ways to leverage partnerships in response to the outbreak. How can resources be mobilized to deliver the staff, health commodities, and systems to stop the spread of Ebola? MODERATOR: Paul Farmer, Co-founder and Chief Strategist, Partners In Health, Kolokotrones University Professor, Harvard Medical School CLOSING PLENARY SESSION 3:30 PM - 4:45 PM Aiming for the Moon and Beyond http://new.livestream.com/CGI/CGI2014/videos/63017674 Since 2005, CGI members have challenged the status quo by proposing bold and cutting-edge ideas, some never envisioned before, that led to disruptive breakthroughs. Going forward, how can CGI members continue to take worthwhile risks and accept that experiencing failure is a critical element to achieving success? How can they “dream big” in order to unlock innovation and drive social change? This session will share the perspectives of forward-thinking leaders and innovators from across sectors, including a live conversation with the International Space Station on exploring new frontiers. PARTICIPANTS: President Bill Clinton, Founding Chairman, Clinton Global Initiative; 42nd President of the United States Chelsea Clinton, Vice Chair, Clinton Foundation Hillary Rodham Clinton, Former U.S. Secretary of State and U.S. Senator from New York Cady Coleman, Astronaut, NASA Peter H.
