In supporting peace building activities and development in the poorest areas of the world, she is focused on developing metrics to better understand what social structures and societal attitudes lead to peace.

    Schippa has held positions at the United Nations for over a decade. Until early 2008, she was the Chief of Office of the United Nations Office for Partnerships. Over the years, Schippa guided the development of high impact public-private partnerships in support of the Millennium Development Goals and has contributed to the creation of numerous strategic alliances between the United Nations and corporations, foundations and philanthropists. She managed liaison with regional commissions, UN programmes, funds and specialized agencies, diplomatic missions and NGOs.

    As Secretary to the UN Fund for International Partnerships (UNFIP) Advisory Board, Camilla oversaw the planning of Board meetings and was responsible for portfolios of funding valued at over US$100 million. While at the United Nations, Schippa also assisted in overseeing the activities of the UN Democracy Fund, led the United Nations' engagement in the area of Sport for Development & Peace and was part of the team responsible for setting up the Peacebuilding Support Office.
