13 Stronger Partnerships Public-private partnerships interconnectedness, corporate social responsibility, innovation Government partnerships capacity building (e.g. NIM support). Integration with the UN system Delivering as One, Greening the Blue, other system-wide initiatives

14 Stronger Partnerships Integration of Supply Management: The traditional Arms-length Relationship is being transformed into Partnership with suppliers.

Allows better opportunities presented by collaborative technologies and to engage people, organizations, and communities where problems are clearly defined but solutions are not.

15 (Example) Public-Private Partnerships Joint UN initiative for green procurement in the health sector Attracted the Global Fund, UNITAID and GAVI as partners, in addition to UNFPA, UNOPS, WHO, UNEP, UNICEF and UNHCR Similar sector-specific initiatives (e.g. renewable energies) could be developed E.g. in discussions with Tesla re: battery storage (LTA) in Zambia and Senegal with others likely to join.

16 Sustainable Initiatives TESLA Partnership Powerwall and Powerblock can address energy scarcity in Senegal Batteries as well as solar panels and inverters can be installed in villages and connected to solar systems Improves access to electricity and allows hospitals, businesses, etc. to operate at night
