The event has passed.
Following our recent panel on the impact and opportunities arising from the recent funding cuts, including the shutdown of USAID and global reductions in development aid, Giving Women has organized a second panel focusing on the effects on the livelihoods of women in the most underserved communities. As we come to terms with the realities of these cuts, we aim to explore how we can shift dependency away from foreign aid and work towards a world where solutions are found within communities and countries themselves.
Through this panel, we will examine the implications of these cuts on livelihood creation and discuss what measures are in place and need to be implemented to mitigate the impact and ensure strong, positive outcomes. We will hear firsthand accounts from those on the front lines of this crisis and explore principles and approaches that could be leveraged to respond swiftly and build greater resilience into our systems.
The panel will be moderated by our member and Director, Bitesize Capital, Khani Bonnet. Our esteemed panelists will be:
- Prapti Bhasin, Chief Operating Officer, Aavishkaar Center, India.
- Danny Gotto, Founder & Director, of I4Dev, Uganda
- Mary Ellen Iskenderian, President and CEO of Women’s World Banking
- Pauline Koelbl, Founder & Managing Partner at ShEquity
- Yasmina Zaidan, Chief Development and Partnerships Officer at Acumen
