About the session
Join us for an interactive and illuminating conversation exploring how supporting families is at the heart of building economically stronger, healthier, more inclusive, and resilient communities.

Hear from the ground examples of how supporting vulnerable children, families and those with lived experience, across different contexts and geographies, creates sustainable systems change.

Share reflections on how collaboration in programming and funding strengthens outcomes and leaves no one behind.

What you will get out of it

​Insight into on how incorporating family strengthening into your strategic funding and programming will elevate impact across the SDGs.

Clearer understanding on what it takes to align partners, funding and implementation, navigate complexity and contexts to drive change.

Real world experience rather than theory.

Funders, policymakers and practitioners interested in:

-          elevating impact for children, families and communities.
