POLICIES INTO PRACTICE

PPAF works to help people in Haiti with innovations and collaborations.  Read more about our organization and strategy below. We work with a Haitian university and Haitian non-profits as well as American organizations on clean cooking and capacity-building.  We also convene seminars and make presentations for information-sharing and advocacy.

About us

The Public-Private Alliance Foundation (PPAF), a non-profit organization, promotes the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and a business approach for poverty alleviation through projects and seminars involving multi-stakeholder cooperation.

PPAF engages in work on clean cookstoves and fuel, public health, renewable energy, employable skills and other aspects of sustainable development, with a special focus on empowerment of women and girls.

Sustainable Development Goals​

​The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity. They are a collection of independent but interconnected goals carefully designed to give all of us on our planet a better future, with targets and measurement indicators geared toward a date of 2030. PPAF’s work aspires to helping achieve many of the SDGs.

The goals themselves are simple and direct, but powerful, ranging from ending poverty to building sustainable cities. Any individual can find something on the diverse list of Sustainable Development Goals to work toward. Attached are a poster of the goals and a list of descriptions of these.
PPAF was established in 2007 as an outgrowth of the UN Public-Private Alliance for Rural Development and the interest of ambassadors to the UN from Madagascar, the Dominican Republic and Haiti.  
​
PPAF has worked with dozens of organizations, businesses and government representatives in these focus countries and in the UN and related institutions.

Since the 2010 Haiti earthquake we have focused our work on Haiti.

Our History

Our Strategy

​Special attention goes to efforts to overcome the poverty-respiratory disease-deforestation trap of Haitian families' heavy reliance on charcoal for cooking 

PPAF works with many Haitian and U.S.-based collaborators.  Together we support teaching and fieldwork on cooking with solar and biogas and for support to the young entrepreneurs program of a children's center. 

PPAF links with the UN Economic & Social Council, the UN Department of Global Communication, the UN Global Compact and others.
