Webinar: Impact and Insights from IPA’s Education Program and Two-Generation Initiative
Join us for a webinar to discuss updates from IPA’s Education Sector Program, including an in-depth look at our recently launched Two Generation Initiative, working to improve the lives of children and disrupt the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Across low- and middle-income countries, nearly half of all children under the age of five are at risk for not reaching their developmental potential. One of the most important protective factors for young children in mitigating the effects of severe adversity is a positive, responsive relationship with a parent, but parents often face many challenges themselves. The lives of children and their caregivers are intimately linked, but research, policy, and intervention often address the needs of each separately. This disconnect might be a key limitation of existing efforts to improve the lives of children and disrupt the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Two generation approaches for intervention and policy target both children and adults, aiming to generate greater and more lasting impact than those that target either one. IPA’s Two-Generation Initiative aims to design, develop, and test the ability of two generation approaches to lead to breakthrough outcomes for the most vulnerable children and their families.Time: 10:00 AM EDT

Strengthening Communities: Insights from Solar Sister’s Climate Resilience Project
Join Solar Sister for an insightful panel discussion on the implementation of Solar Sister’s Climate Resilience Project, funded by Acumen’s Promoting Inclusion Through Leadership & Investment (PITL) project. The PITL is managed by Acumen with funding from Global Affairs Canada. The project transformed the lives of internally displaced women in northern Nigeria, deeply affected by recent flooding, by empowering them to become clean energy entrepreneurs through a unique adaptation of Solar Sister’s model. During the webinar, a panel of Solar Sister’s local staff who led the design and implementation of the program will share best practices and key lessons learned from the project, highlighting how we’ve adapted our model to better serve populations in vulnerable contexts. The panel will also discuss the challenges faced and the innovative solutions developed to enhance climate resilience among these communities, and you will have the opportunity to hear directly from a Solar Sister Entrepreneur who participated in the program.
Whether you’re a practitioner, policymaker, or simply interested in climate resilience and women’s empowerment, this discussion will offer valuable insights and practical strategies for making a difference.
