b'IMPACT STATEMENT 2021Transforming lives with the support of philanthropists and private partnersTaking on some of the worlds greatest challenges and working on solutions to complex global problems is no mean feat. Crown Agents does not work alone. We rely on a trusted network of forward-thinking partners including ministries, governments, institutions, donors and suppliers to help us transform the lives of millions of vulnerable people.Throughout 2021 and the COVID-19 pandemic, we have connected with an unprecedented number of philanthropists, businesses and foundations driving change and creating global impact. What often appeals to these partners is that by working with Crown Agents they have full autonomy over what their donations are put towards, in effect co-creating programmes that fulfil their philanthropic, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals. This is a marked departure from usual appeals that do not give the private sector any input in the way funds are utilised, particularly during an emergency. They also have the peace of mind that funds will reach those most in need. As much of our work is based in challenging contexts with long-standing local partnerships, we can fund activities in regions few others have the capability to reach. We also ensure that donations attract further support, acting as a catalyst not only to encourage others to give but also to ensure a more sustainable funding approach where the worlds most vulnerable people will continue to receive support.32'
