Building Resilience with Sustainable Livelihoods: A Systems Approach
Join us in New York for a transformative gathering on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Week. This exclusive event, hosted by Development Alternatives, Haqdarshak, GivFunds and Impact Lens - with generous support from the “la Caixa" Foundation and Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies - explores how systems thinking and social innovation can build resilient communities and create sustainable livelihoods at scale.
Focusing on the strengths of Samaj (society), Sarkar (government), and Bazaar (markets), this forum brings together experts solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges - particularly that of creating meaningful employment for millions of people. It will showcase how vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystems can be co-created to nurture local businesses, thereby ensuring meaningful employment to millions of vulnerable women and young adults.
This gathering will:
Highlight how challenges faced by impact-makers in scaling their work can be overcome.
Explore proven models for creating sustainable livelihoods, focusing on tech-enabled, community-driven, and collaborative approaches.
Understand how targeted interventions, leveraging network effects and institutional strengthening, can achieve exponential impact and transform large-scale development efforts.
The breakfast meeting will also provide you a chance to meet and network with fellow impact makers, funders, academics, and government officials who are shaping the future of inclusive development.
We look forward to your participation!
