Impact Philanthropy & Investing: Connecting Innovation with ground Realities

Kuala Lumpur | April 26-28, 2012

In its 4th annual convening in Dubai in March 2011, the World Congress of Muslim Philanthropists reported that individual governments were falling behind in the provision of social safety nets, leaving the philanthropic and private sectors to carry increasing responsibility for meeting basic human needs. This trend, coupled with a global financial and sovereign debt crisis that further limits government capacity, could have disastrous consequences for the billion or more people who experience hunger and poverty. Forum participants agreed that WCMP can play a crucial role in building a global culture of common concern and collaborative action to address pressing global and regional challenges, most notably poverty, hunger, disease, and conflict.
