July 2021 ANDE East and Southeast Asia has finished off the first half of 2021 with an eventful month of June. The AGEI Action Lab members gathered again at Create Phase’s Community Check-in to develop the prototype they want to test. We are one step closer to pilot actionable solutions to system-level gender equality challenges! To further support the SGB ecosystem in building resilience after the pandemic, we co-hosted a cross-chapter event called “One year on from COVID-19: what have we learnt?” with ANDE India and ANDE East Africa, where we learned best practices from Intellecap, Technoserve, PACT and Sei Balai Green Energy. At the Asia-Pacific Funder Learning Lab with ANDE India, we invited funders across the region to discuss how we can ensure inclusive digital delivery and leverage existing infrastructure to best serve SGBs. Last but not least, we are thrilled to welcome our New ESEA Steering Committee on board:
The support and guidance from our Steering Committee have allowed us to build an impactful entrepreneurial ecosystem in Asia and beyond.
