The Bellagio Forum: Transforming Care for Children - Report

Rockefeller Foundation, Daniel Schwartz, and the Miracle Foundation

This report provides an overview of a February 2020 meeting held in Bellagio, Italy focused on a cross sectoral ‘outside look in’ examination of the issue of children’s care. The meeting was hosted by the Rockefeller Foundation, Daniel Schwartz, and the Miracle Foundation and had a particular emphasis on a future-focused visualization of the enabling environment of care. The idea was to explore how fresh perspectives from different yet relevant vantage points could result in new narratives and new opportunities to pursue cross sectoral collaboration.

The report includes an introduction on the background and purpose of the meeting, an outline of the meeting design and process, and a brief overview of the three main areas of focus with approaches for solutions. The report concludes with bios of each of the meeting participants.
