The name “Synergos” comes from the Greek root meaning “working together.” We address global poverty and social injustice through a process of collaboration. Bringing together the most influential people and institutions in government, business and civil society, as well as poor and marginalized communities who are usually left out of the process, we help every part of society work together to create long-term progress.

In over twenty years, Synergos has supported innovative global partnerships in more than 30 countries and regions, including Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, India, Mexico and the U.S.-Mexico border, the Middle East, 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 still serves as our Chair, and is headed by Robert H. Dunn, President and CEO. We are headquartered in New York with regional offices in Latin America and Southern Africa.
