Cross Sector Development Partnerships Initiative (XSPI)

XSPI is a Catalyst, Convenor, Collaborator, Co-Creator and Coalition Builder. XSPI's unique value proposition is to incubate, seed or accelerate cross-sector partnerships across Asia Pacific providing solid, long-term, future platforms to create diverse development projects in close partnership with national partners and aligned with the SDG's. XSPI's collective impact approach to supporting expanded Asia Pacific SDG aligned development should increment sector confidence stimulating increased financial commitments and development impact across Asia Pacific among Australia's business, government, NGO/NFP, academia/health/medical research and philanthropy/private capital stakeholder sectors in joint contribution with national partners. All XSPI facilitated development projects are locally lead and own, aligning with host country SDGs and development plan priorities.
