Quote from Barker: Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.
Marloes is Partnership Manager at UNICEF. In her role, she cultivates and maintains strategic relationships with external organizations and corporates such as dsm-firmenich, Rituals and Randstad. The nature of the partnerships varies, evolving over time to respond to children’s needs and changes in the business environment. Whether it’s through strategic programmatic funding, by leveraging a company’s core expertise and networks, or by working with industries to promote child-rights principles in responsible business practices, UNICEF partners with the private sector to make a transformational difference for children. Prior to this role, she worked in the private sector in several positions varying from consultancy to corporate philanthropy.
How do I build bridges?
At UNICEF, we work closely with the private sector to create systemic change. Key is that we share common goals yet bring different complementary capabilities. UNICEF provides on-the-ground knowledge, program experience, and connections with governments and partners at local and international levels. Corporate partners contribute with their technical expertise, innovations and essential funding.
