Dalberg Catalyst

A huge thank you to beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship for inviting us to co-host the launch of your North America Fellowship during #ClimateWeekNYC! It was truly inspiring to witness the incredible innovations emerging from this impactful program. We were also energized by the opportunity to connect with over 200 representatives from business, government, and the social impact sectors who joined us for the event. As we confront the urgent environmental challenges ahead, collaboration across sectors is more critical than ever. It’s through initiatives with ambitions like this—anchored in holistic systems, with stable funding and shared accountability—that we can drive meaningful, lasting change. We are excited to see how these bold solutions evolve in the coming years and remain committed to working together for a sustainable future. Many thanks to The DO School Fellowships, Leaders' Quest, Count Us In, The Forum of Young Global Leaders, Global Shapers Community, The Rockefeller Foundation, Village Capital, World Economic Forum, and beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship.

Huge honor to have published this piece in The Lancet (with so many great co-authors) on the importance of nature in the growing climate and health movement. People need nature to survive--that's a fact. The way that many--if not most--people will experience the climate crisis is through its impact on their health. Protecting nature is critical if we are to meet global climate goals and save lives. Unfortunately, all too often, nature is overlooked in conversations on climate and health. We give recommendations on how the health sector can engage to increase uptake of nature-based solutions. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ec8jrPqk

In April, we met with over 20 activists and legal experts in Colombia to kick off a series of convenings to develop recommendations for the Principles on the Crime of Gender Persecution (an initiative supported by Dalberg Catalyst through grant funding from The Rockefeller Foundation), a guide for governments, humanitarian rights groups, and others to prevent gender persecution and take appropriate action when it occurs. The Principles presents an opportunity to address the discrimination that leads to gender-based violence, take the term "gender persecution" beyond courtrooms, and change the way it is approached in our day-to-day. “Naming … the crime of gender persecution is definitely an opportunity to investigate the structures of power. That’s why it’s so important." Universidad de Los Andes https://bit.ly/3zm2YJE

I had the huge honor of doing a TED talk earlier this year. In it, I discuss how our health as humans cannot be separated from that of the planet. We are interconnected with every other being on this planet. I specifically focus the talk on forests, which are critical for meeting our climate goals and for preventing pandemics. A better world is possible. Thank you in advance for watching! go.ted.com/neilvora

How can data co-ops help women? Aapti and Data2X, United Nations Foundation are working on building data cooperatives, which are effective vehicles for empowering women by giving control over their own data. In the first cohort, we have been working with Enyorata Loviluku Women’s Group in Kisongo, Tanzania with the support of Uncommon Collaborations Grant. The group has women belonging to the Masai community. We have worked on adding a data layer to the existing group structure in order to help them pool their financial data to obtain loans from banks. Watch the video to hear their reflections! https://lnkd.in/gT2ECPd7 Astha Kapoor Sarayu Natarajan Vinay Narayan Daniel Alphayo Sushmitha Viswanathan #gender #data #finance #empowerment

It’s pleasure to work with Neema Kaseje, one of Uncommon Collaborations grant recipients, as she seeks to provide surgical care in under-served rural and refugee communities in northwestern Kenya. Here she speaks about the five critical drivers of women and children’s health.

We’re very proud of the work led by Aapti Institute, one of our Uncommon Collaborations grantees. Don't miss the opportunity to join their virtual roundtable this Wednesday (Apr. 3) to hear more about the learnings from the inaugural cohort of Data Co-ops in Action, a support network for setting up and supporting women’s data cooperatives across the globe.
