Build the Shared Future | RF Creating the next chapter of global cooperation together For too long, the global institutions and initiatives tasked with saving lives and advancing human well-being have fallen short. From humanitarian assistance to food security to global health, the world is using systems built in the 20th century to tackle 21st-century threats. The world’s most vulnerable people deserve better.
Today, at a moment of profound geopolitical and technological disruption, we have an opportunity to re-imagine the way individuals, institutions, and even nations work together. The data is clear: around the world, people support global cooperation against shared threats — but only if it delivers results.
Data also shows that the stakes if we don’t: Across 93 low- and middle-income countries, more than 22 million people could die by 2030 if international aid cuts continue. Build the Shared Future is an effort to answer this urgent call. These initiatives, launched in September 2025, seek to inspire and inform global cooperation that’s equal to the challenges of the 21 st century.
The Rockefeller Foundation will partner with innovative thinkers and leaders around the world to challenge the status quo, advance creative solutions, and harness new technology to confront today’s common threats. Together, we seek to build the future so it’s healthier, better nourished, wealthier, more stable and secure.
of people across 34 countries support cooperation on global challenges — even when it requires compromising on national interests projected global aid cuts people projected to die by 2030 in low- and middle-income countries if global aid cuts continue A new peer-reviewed study published in The Lancet Global Health by ISGlobal, with support from The Rockefeller Foundation, shows how severe cuts to global aid could reverse decades of health gains across 93 countries if action is not taken.
Source: The Lancet Global Health international collaboration Amid the erosion of multilateral cooperation and deterioration of existing institutions and agreements, this project is working to identify areas for continued international cooperation among world leaders and to identify ways in which civil society can support these efforts.
The project invites a broad, bottom-up approach to revisit many of the underlying concepts that were incorporated into the foundation of existing agreements and institutions and will seek to reimagine what needs to come next. Humanitarian Food Systems The number of people living in extreme hunger is rising, yet the public resources to address these challenges are diminishing.
The project will improve data systems so local stakeholders can better predict food crises and take anticipatory action to prevent the worst outcomes. Projects in highly vulnerable situations will demonstrate the benefits of these strengthened data systems to help local food systems become more productive and resilient and allow scarce public funds to be used more efficiently and effectively.
The global health system is at a critical inflection point. Persistent challenges — including funding shortfalls, systemic fragmentation, and deep-rooted inequities — continue to disproportionately impact the world’s most vulnerable communities.
We are supporting country leaders in building a new paradigm for global health in which domestic institutions set priorities, allocate resources, and drive solutions, while external support strengthens rather than supplants national capacity.
How We Will Build the Shared Future With: Newly adopted principles to guide international cooperation For: More prosperous and secure lives With: Local leaders coming together to show the way For: Self-sufficient health systems that save lives With: Collaborative Predictive Data Systems For: Hungry people around the world A Mandate for International Cooperation: G20 Popular Opinion on Global Action A follow-up survey of nearly 20,000 people across 18 G20 countries reveals strong support for international cooperation, with 60% willing to accept national compromise to solve global challenges.

Program SummaryThe Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) seeks to launch a Science and Engineering Fellowship Program that selects and places scientists, medical doctors, and engineers in MCC's Washington Headquarters and overseas Missions. The Fellowship Program will help MCC obtain technical expertise to contribute to the more effective application of science and technology in the international development and foreign affairs activities of the U.S. government. For Fellows, the program is an opportunity to engage in international science policy and to contribute to addressing important societal problems.The MCC seeks to pattern Science and Engineering Fellowship Program along the lines of the Science, Engineering and Diplomacy, Security & Development Fellowship program that was initiated at USAID in 1982. In the 28 year history of that program, nearly 400 fellows have been placed at USAID, in Washington or field missions. The Fellows Program has been a very successful mechanism for USAID offices to access scientists and engineers with up-to-date and diverse technical expertise to meet the Agency's strategic objectives in areas such as climate change, biotechnology, infectious diseases, and energy. In addition, the Fellows bring with them connections to a broad scientific community, expanding MCC's collaborations and partnerships. This program is currently administered under a cooperative agreement with the American Association for the Advancement of Science.Program Components The design of this activity is based on the USAID's past experience with science and engineering fellowships. The recipient organization needs to have the capacity to select outstanding postdoctoral-level to senior level scientists, medical doctors, political scientists, and engineers to serve for one to two years in MCC/Washington or an overseas MCC Mission. The placement of Fellows at MCC will mirror our operational requirements; currently these include but are not limited to: agriculture, engineering, education, environment, social science (including gender), health, land programs, economic analysis and monitoring and evaluation. The Fellowship Program will help MCC obtain technical expertise to contribute to the more effective application of science and technology in the international development and foreign affairs activities of the U.S. government. For Fellows, the program is an opportunity to engage in international science policy and to contribute to addressing important societal problems.The recipient organization will be responsible for the recruitment, primary selection and placement, and administration of Fellows in MCC/Washington offices and overseas MCC Missions through an open and competitive process. The recipient organization should have the capacity to place and provide oversight of approximately two (2) Fellows, annually, to include new incoming fellows, renewing second year fellows and overseas fellows, during the life of the award, which is expected to be 5 years. Fellowships will last up to 4 years.The recipient will be responsible for advertising and soliciting candidates from a broad range of scientific, social science, and engineering backgrounds that match the areas in which MCC works and therefore should have expertise in working with the scientific, technical, and engineering communities. The recruitment should also emphasize diversity in geographic location, types of technical institutions (e.g., universities, industry, nongovernmental organizations, etc.), gender, and cultural perspectives. Candidates should be highly competitive in their technical areas and bring to the Fellowship Program an understanding of the latest developments in their technical field and the ability to leverage the broader scientific community in their field in support of MCC's Mission.Other capabilities that the recipient organization should be able to demonstrate include the ability to organize an orientation program for new Fellows to MCC, provide mentoring opportunities to ensure a productive relationship, offer formal and structured networking and professional career development building opportunities that provide Fellows with exposure to a broad range of national and international issues, especially as they relate to science and technology, implement an effective evaluation program to strengthen the program in out years, and collaborate with MCC to support Fellows. Additionally, the recipient organization will be required to maintain or obtain a valid facility security clearance and to facilitate the federal security clearance process for each potential candidate.The purpose of this sources sought notice is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualification of various organizations, institutions and businesses.
