How To Responsibly Scale Innovations in Fragile Settings?
"From Fragility to Stability" is a podcast series produced in partnership with CGIAR
This episode of the Global Dispatches podcast is produced in partnership with the CGIAR Research Initiative on Fragility, Conflict, and Migration for a series that examines what works to improve the well-being of people in Fragile and Conflict Affected Settings. CGIAR is a global partnership that unites international organizations engaged in research about food security.
We are calling this series “From Fragility to Stability” and in today’s episode I host a roundtable discussion with three experts on the topic of responsibly scaling innovations in fragile settings.
You will hear from:
Karen Nortje, International Water Management Institute (IWMI) Research Group Leader for Gender, Equality and Social Inclusion.
Maha Al-Zubi, Regional Researcher - Sustainable & Resilient Water Systems. International Water Management Institute (IWMI)
Kyle Cordova, Founder and CEO of Aquaporo
Some of the questions we discuss include, but are not limited to:
Why supporting small businesses to responsibly scale their innovations is important in Fragile and Conflict Affected Settings.
Specific examples of how IWMI, through the CGIAR Fragility, Conflict, and Migration initiative, is supporting Small and Medium Sized Enterprises to scale innovations in partnership with the World Food Program Innovation Accelerator.
What is Aquaporo’s innovation and how will it help address water security in Fragile and Conflict Affected Settings? How are IWMI and WFP supporting the growth and potential of this innovation?
