Co-anchored within the King Center on Global Development and the Stanford Alumni Association, the Alliance was co-founded by Stanford alumni Radhika Shah and Diva Avaya Sharma. The Alliance connects the global Stanford alumni community and current students with partners addressing real-world development challenges, while fostering collaboration with international impact institutions such as the World Bank, World Economic Forum, United Nations, philanthropic and civil society organizations, as well as private-sector actors advancing societal impact.
