Closed Roundtable for Donors, Funders and Development Partners

Registration of Interest in Participation

Closed Roundtable for Donors, Funders and Development Partners: Beyond Silo Funding: exploring agile strategies to address current funding challenges collectively as the donor and development partner community.


Wednesday 26 August 2026, Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre
Taking place under the auspices of the ISPCAN Congress and Rise Up Policy Forum


ISPCAN and GIZ ‘Violence Prevention for Peaceful and Inclusive Communities’ program would like to convene a closed roundtable with other development partners and donors to start a conversation about strategies for promoting sustainable funding of early violence prevention and response; with a focus on innovative strategies to address current resourcing challenges. This initiative is underlined by the considerations around severe global challenges in funding cuts, dwindling resources, competing priorities and insufficient funding of evidence-informed system thinking approaches. We envisage that this is a discussion that will continue over several convenings.
