The name “Synergos” comes from the Greek root meaning “working together.” We inspire, lead, and support sustainable and systems-changing collaboration to address poverty, equity, and social justice. Bringing together civil society leaders, social innovators, philanthropists, foundations, corporations, government agencies, and global institutions with poor and marginalized communities, we help these diverse actors work together to create sustainable systems change.
Over the course of more than 20 years, Synergos has supported innovative global partnerships in more than 30 countries and regions, including Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, Ethiopia, India, Mexico and the U.S.-Mexico border, the Middle East and North Africa, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.
To promote and support these systems-changing collaborations, our networks help leaders and leading institutions learn from each other and access the ideas, people, and resources that can help them make a greater impact in addressing issues of poverty, equity, and social justice. In addition, we share the knowledge learned through our work so others can benefit from our experience.
Synergos was founded by Peggy Dulany in 1986, who serves as our Chair, and is headed by Robert H. Dunn, President and CEO. We are headquartered in New York with regional offices in Southern Africa.
