The annual Partnership Forum is the centerpiece of CIF’s outreach to stakeholders. The Forum seeks to facilitate dialogue on CIF’s strategic directions, results, and impacts. It also showcases promising practices, innovative technologies, and lessons learned.

The 2010 Forum was held at the headquarters of the Asian Development Bank in Manila, Philippines. The 400 participants represented more than 70 countries, nearly 80 nongovernmental and civil society organizations, eight multilateral development banks, seven UN agencies, and the private sector.

The next Partnership Forum will be hosted by the African Development Bank in capetown, South Africa, from June 24-25, 2011.
