On March 8, 2011, the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) hosted "Game-changing Innovations for Women," a conversation that explored how various organizations in the global development space – foundations, bi-lateral institutions, nongovernmental organizations and the private sector – were harnessing the power of innovation to improve the lives of women and girls. NBC News Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent Andrea Mitchell moderated the discussion with Dr. Rajiv Shah, USAID administrator; Cherie Blair, founder of the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women; Tim Hanstad, president and CEO of Landesa; and Bobbi Silten, chief foundation officer at Gap Inc.
