Ambassador Stuart Holliday, President & CEO of the Meridian International Center, sat for an interview with the Diplomatic Courier at "Talent Mobility & the Future of Jobs: The World in 2050".
[INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT]
[Diplomatic Courier:] How can public-private partnerships help spur job growth?
[Ambassador Holliday:] Public-private partnerships represent the reality that the government can’t do it alone. Government can make policy, but, increasingly, the government needs the private sector to help implement and cooperate because, of course, there is a lot more economic power in the private sector. I think philanthropy outstrips foreign aid, for example. A lot of people don’t know that. Private philanthropy is larger than our governmental assistance officially in the world. So public-private partnerships are important in both ways.
