Innovation at Civil Society Academy
We champion and advocate for a just and equal world, and spend all our time harnessing the superpower abilities of social pioneers, innovators and civil society leaders to fast track radical system transformation. Being a fast growing social start-up ourselves initiated by Welthungerhilfe in 2014, we know the transformative power of ideas and what it takes to bring them to life. Over the years we have also developed a strong reputation for strengthening and deepening local participative social innovation processes and championing the role of the third sector in radical system transformation discourses.

Great work team!!! I really like the idea of empowerment and behavior change. In the ideation process, we need to push ourselves further to address the "hunger aspect of these potential women". The question is: what comes first? If I am hungry; am I concern about my own empowerment or awareness? Do I need to free my mind from hunger and place myself in a better condition to address the holistic aspect of my life? Please, I would encourage you to challenge your own assumption that you know what comes first. Push the ideation beyond what you know and it might give you many more ideas to prototype. These malnourished women might most likely empower us in return to address better the hunger issues in the world. Let me play a dissenting voice in the team by assuming these women know they are malnourished but they are often placed in positions to make hard choices. I speak from my experience in India, South Sudan, Haiti, CAR, PNG, and Liberia. Why can they break the cycle, if they know? In that case, can empowerment (which needs to be unpacked) and behavior change the only solutions? Keep pushing and thank you for your great work.
