"We believe folks in philanthropy, like many of you here, are working with many cycles. Understand what season your movement is in. Because each season requires a different intervention. And money can inhibit or destroy your movement. That's just the truth. The right things at the right time." - Carlos Saavedra, Ayni Institute At the 2024 GPC Members Gathering, Carlos Saavedra of the Ayni Institute shared powerful insights on philanthropy's role in social movements. He emphasized the importance of recognizing movement seasons and how funding can either support or hinder progress. https://lnkd.in/gMTAKUWr

Childcare centers are a proven intervention to prevent child drowning, the leading cause of death of children ages 1-4 in Bangladesh. Community-based, integrated childcare centers ensure that children survive and thrive, with the coordination of care and development services for the holistic needs of young children and their families. Synergos is proud to partner with the Bangladesh government, along with Centre for Injury Prevention and Research, Bangladesh (CIPRB), BRAC Institute of Educational Development, RNLI and Bloomberg Philanthropies and others, for the government-led program establishing 8,000 integrated childcare centers across the country this year. As a result of this incredible collaboration, the Government of Bangladesh took over management of existing childcare sites and recently completed trainings with the local NGOs who will operate them. Our learnings and connections will grow, as the program deepens its operations, and so will the impacts for children and their families.

Synergos celebrates the achievements of women agripreneurs, alongside so many of our partners at the AGRA 2024 International Women’s Day convening. Women not only represent more than 70% of Nigeria’s agricultural workforce, they manage more than 43% of agricultural holdings across Sub-Saharan Africa. A coordinated ecosystem of actors is imperative to further strengthen the role of women in agriculture, a key economic sector. Synergos has been a proud partner in developing and activating the National Gender Action Plan, as well as the Gender Policies in Agriculture for Kaduna State and Niger State. The policies have a clear goal: to stimulate growth through demand-driven approaches and improve access to credit and technology. The policies enable women to compete and excel in agribusiness in Nigeria, and across the African continent. #AGRA #UNWomen #LAWN #VALUE4HER Victor A.
