GOAL 2: Zero Hunger Archives - Catalysing Change Week

Roadmap to Fighting Hunger

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:02:21 +0000

The aim of the session is to recognize the serious and often unknown consequences of hunger, and to develop concrete actionable plans to formalize a roadmap to fighting hunger. Hunger is not just about ‘feeling hungry’. It is also about lowered immunity and recurrent infections. Infections such as worm infestation and diarrhea lead to further loss of nutrients in the body. This is a vicious circle. The biggest challenge is micronutrient deficiency. Lack of vitamin A in the diet leads to permanent blindness in 1 million children every year, and 250 million children are at risk. The panelists will focus on the link between SDGs 1,2 and 3, and demonstrate how hunger leads to poverty, sickness, lack of education, and job opportunities, all of which aggravate hunger. Speakers will also present a potential roadmap for next steps – on how different stakeholders can make a difference, and and how one can effectively build partnerships with local grassroots NGOs, donors, government, and policymakers, and mobilize resources to end hunger.

The Invisible Visible – Campaign for Rights & Justice

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:02:08 +0000

The session will begin with providing the context surrounding the situation of homelessness in India and what has been the response from the state to address this. It will also discuss the vulnerabilities of different communities including the abuse and violence they are subjected to. Finally, it will propose a collaborative response in the form a national campaign, with a clear call to action. Strengthening of existing alliance that Koshish initiated some time back will be a major take away from this session with collaborative organisations extending support for advocacy and awareness of the issue.

Exploring a practical new operating model for sustainable development

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:02:03 +0000

This session is based on 2 years’ research, which has identified the efficiency opportunities from doing development differently: relieve hunger, reduce poverty and help build sustainable communities. The stories we have gathered demonstrate the multiplier in wellbeing from local people helping themselves. Sometimes called ‘localisation’, it seems that the development sector recognises this opportunity but is gridlocked and unable to make the change. The application of Good Management Practice [GMP] to development can overcome this impasse; what is needed is a new operating model and scale demonstration of its effectiveness. We will tell the stories, provide the new model vision of GMP for the sector and promote collaboration to ‘just do it’!

Engaging private sector towards addressing malnutrition

Ajit Vahadane — Tue, 24 May 2022 10:01:43 +0000

Increasingly, the dialogue on the multi-dimensional issues around malnutrition have started recognizing the need for cross-sectoral approaches- including the role of the private sector. There has been an increase in the involvement of the private sector in improving nutrition outcomes overall, however, myriad challenges remain around public-private partnerships. This session aims to provide an opportunity to discuss the role of private sector in collaborating with public sector to address malnutrition and achieving nutritional equity. Particularly, the goal of the session is to address the following: 1. What role can the private sector play in addressing malnutrition? 2. What are some of the programmes currently being funded through Corporate Social Responsibility in the nutrition space? 3. What are the gaps that remain unaddressed and what role can the private sector play in addressing them? 4. How can the private sector be engaged towards achieving nutritional equity? (e.g., measuring impact of public private engagement, scaling successful nutrition initiatives, advocacy) 5. What the private sector can do to complement government programs (how can private sector provide additional resources, do some gap funding, and optimize efficiencies) and de-burden the overburdened government health systems, especially in the nutrition space.
