Throughout my career, I have seen that strong entrepreneurship is a key factor in leading people out of poverty. I had the pleasure of sharing my perspective on this topic at the elea Philanthropic Investors’ Circle dinner as a member of the elea Comité de Patronage. In conversation with Peter Wuffli, we debated the importance of direct impact investing for economic development and entrepreneurship as a dynamic and sustainable concept to break the cycle of poverty. Thank you for inviting me and for the many inspiring conversations during the dinner. #eleaway #impactinvesting #philanthropy #elea Peter Wuffli

Delivering long-term solutions for people affected by conflict and disasters requires courageous leadership and intrapreneurship to engage in new types of partnerships. The latest report supported by the IKEA Foundation and developed by the Humanitarian and Resilience Investing Initiative with ODI, Leaders and Intrapreneurs: Driving Investment in Frontier Markets, highlights best practices from pioneering organisations and showcases key actions that took place behind the scenes before they were able to successfully engage in humanitarian and resilience investing. @International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) @European Commission @Directorate General for European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (DG ECHO) @World Food Programme @WFP Innovation Accelerator @FMO – Entrepreneurial Development Bank @ODI @IKEA Foundation https://lnkd.in/eD6EDG3R

“I look at you as a community which, in difficult environments, has made significant steps forward. This gives me hope. We need more social entrepreneurial spirit to advance the world in many of the pressing issues we are facing”, Peter Maurer, former president of the International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC, encouraged members of the elea Entrepreneurs’ Community in an expert session. In a conversation with elea CEO Andreas R. Kirchschlaeger, he shared his perspective on global poverty, methods of fighting it, including the pivotal role social entrepreneurship plays in this fight, and conveyed his opinion about leadership. As a long-time admirer of elea’s pioneering role in philanthropic impact investing, Peter joined elea’s Comité de Patronage in October 2022. We are honored that he is actively developing and growing our entrepreneurs' community. He will contribute to further shaping our entrepreneurial approach to fighting poverty with his vast expertise in leadership and his extensive global network. This was the closing session on this year’s dense calendar of events for the elea Entrepreneurs’ Community. We will continue providing ever more powerful tools to inspire elea entrepreneurs and enable impact leaders to learn, grow together as a community, and find support for their meaningful work in creating lasting social change. #eleaEntrepreneursCommunity #leadership #socialimpact Zhihan Lee Prashanth Venkataramana Martin Elwert Jeremy Hockenstein Kunaal Dudeja Megha Aggarwal Dominikus Collenberg Philipp Neub Ricardo Vaca Domínguez Mahmud Johnson Sameer Raina Gus Le Breton Naveen Krishna Paula Cardenau Luther Lawoyin Alice Waweru Emiliano Fazio Bryan Plummer Divya Vasant Gaurav Mehta

It's unacceptable - sexual violence remains a widespread violation in conflict. Join this important discussion convened by International Committee of the Red Cross - ICRC.
Anyone can be a victim of #sexualviolence. Despite clear legal prohibitions, sexual violence remains widespread and prevalent during armed conflicts and other situations of violence, as well as in detention. It occurs in various contexts and has grave humanitarian consequences. #COVID19 has only made the situation worse. Join ICRC, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) & the SEMA Network for a live conversation on sexual violence in conflict settings.
