Given the size, scope, and scatter of the field of Development on one hand, and the scarcity of high-quality subject matter experts on the other, Technology is the only recourse available to empower the committed and dedicated scores of change makers out there in the field of Development Sector with contemporary and relevant knowledge most effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Leaders in the Social Development Sector are entrusted to address complex social issues, often referred to as ‘wicked’ problems and increasingly now, at scale. Furthermore, the ecosystem in which Social Purpose Organisations function, is changing rapidly, with growing inequities, the climate crisis, and a large population without access to basic needs. This change, however, has brought about the opportunity to transform the paradigm, creating space for all to thrive and flourish. Social Purpose Organisations, therefore, have a moral imperative to build their leadership and management skills to be able to create the future in a systemic, collaborative, and regenerative way.
