UN General Assembly CGI Bloomberg Gates Ford Foundation.

The United Nations will draw foundations and nonprofits to New York for a packed schedule of events on the sidelines of its General Assembly next week. But uncertainty over its future and foreign aid commitments have already had an impact. The Gates Foundation has delayed an annual report about progress toward global development goals. The Clinton Global Initiative is changing its format to focus on new programs. Despite these challenges, Kevin Sheekey, a senior adviser to billionaire Mike Bloomberg., says the U.N. General Assembly is still the only place that the whole world gets together and that is valuable.
