Partnership learning and evaluation is an opportunity to provide a reflective space and process for partners and other stakeholders to reflect on their work together, the challenges encountered, the benefits derived, and how collaboration can be strengthened. — Day Four Projects' video explainers introduce ways to surface, understand, design, evaluate, and communicate the complex contributory pathways by which partnerships and platforms influence outcomes. — Cameron Willis Nic Vogelpoel Mallory Pryde Lee Crockford Laura Fisher Connie Donato-Hunt Partnership Brokers Association Adam Kostick — #msps #partnerships #codesign #internationaldevelopment #implementation #evaluation #sustainabledevelopment #sustainability| #socialimpact #impact #esg #sdgs #transition #collaboration #multistakeholder #complexproblems #socialinnovation #decolonisation #decolonization #localisation #NGO #INGO #internationaldevelopment #humanitarian #aid #learning #evaluation #research #prevention #participation #vps #merl #mel #partnering #mentalhealth #behaviourchange #theoryofchange #systems #systemmapping #systemhange #scaling #netzero #livedexperience #innovation #imm #actionplanning #research #globalhealth #socialimpact #multilateral #philanthropy #rfps #tor #tors #eoi #evaluation #design #systems #socialenterprise #socent #partnering #partnership #indicators #data #pacific #DisasterResilience #philanthropy

Is social impact learning stuck in the #North? The way we train changemakers often overlooks the brilliant solutions brewing in the #GlobalSouth. AVPN's Global Leadership Academy (GLA) is shaking things up! GLA champions locally-driven solutions – because who knows a community's challenges better than the people living them? They're also amplifying under-represented voices, ensuring #women, #grassroots leaders, and people with disabilities have a seat at the table. ️ Curious how they're doing it? The GLA pilots explored innovative approaches like "loving the problem" (taking time to understand the challenges) and embracing "not-knowing" (accepting complex problems require open-ended exploration). This is just the beginning! AVPN is committed to evolving social impact learning. Head over to the full article by Kurt Peleman Nadya S. Pryana Sejal Maheshwari and Yee Zhen Ang in India Development Review (IDR) to see how we are building a more inclusive and effective movement for global change. 🔗 : https://bit.ly/3V4CVh1 #AVPN #SocialImpact #Learning #GlobalSouth #Innovation

In another masterstroke, Dr. Fehmina Khalique authored a chapter 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐀𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 (𝐇𝐄𝐈) – 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 in the book “Leadership Paradigms and Impact of Technology” (ISBN: 9798369371756) published by IGI Global. The chapter emphasizes the need for HEIs to promote inclusivity for differently abled individuals, focusing on leadership and innovation. HEIs should adopt inclusive practices to cater to diverse learner needs. Strong leadership is essential to initiate and sustain these practices, fostering a supportive and empathetic environment. By promoting inclusive education, HEIs fulfill their ethical and social responsibilities and contribute to achieving SDGs related to quality education and reduced inequalities #chapter #HEI #technologyimpact #leadershipparadigms

I have successfully completed Module 2 of Aspire Leaders Program 2024 at Aspire Institute , which featured a Masterclass by Prof. Can Erbil on the topic of economic inequality. This significantly expanded my global knowledge and understanding of how economic inequality impacts not only underdeveloped and developing nations but also developed countries. Several potential measures to address this issue were explored, further enriching my professional development and broadening my global perspective. #AspireInstitute #AspireLeadersProgram

🌟 Inspiring the Leaders of Tomorrow 🌟 The importance of inspiring our youth cannot be overstated. They are the dreamers, innovators, and leaders who will shape the future. As mentors, educators, and community leaders, it is our responsibility to ignite their passion and guide them toward greatness. Here’s why I believe inspiring our youth is crucial: 🚀 Future Innovators: Today’s youth hold the keys to tomorrow’s breakthroughs. By nurturing their curiosity and encouraging exploration, we pave the way for new ideas and solutions that can change the world. 🌱 Building Confidence: When we believe in young people, they learn to believe in themselves. Empower them with confidence, and watch them achieve the unimaginable. 💡 Encouraging Creativity: The fresh perspectives and imaginative minds of young individuals are invaluable. Inspiring them to think creatively fosters a culture of innovation and progress. 🤝 Strengthening Communities: Youth who are inspired and supported become active, engaged members of their communities. They are more likely to give back and inspire others, creating a positive cycle of growth and development. 📚 Lifelong Learners: Encouragement and inspiration instill a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. Knowledge is power, and an inspired youth is equipped to continuously seek growth and improvement. Let's commit to being the #mentors and #rolemodels who light the path for the next generation. Together, we can help them dream big, reach their potential, and lead with #purpose.
