DATA HIGHLIGHT: STATE OF ADOLESCENTS in JHARKHAND

Through a data-sharing and learning session, Shireen Jejeebhoy released the top-line findings from the 10to19: Dasra Adolescents Collaborative baseline survey conducted in 2018. 

Report launch: COLLABORATIVE ACTION - II

Collaborative Action Part II, supported by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Dasra documented the process of building a collaborative initiative like the 10to19: Dasra Adolescents Collaborative. The report was launched by Natasha Patel on behalf of Dasra and Bank of America Merrill Lynch. 

​​​REPORT LAUNCH: ACTIOn - REACTION

Dasra's report 'Action - Reaction' highlights the extent and nature of backlash experienced by girls and organizations working in the space of empowering adolescents. Priti Prabhughate talks about the theories of backlash and shares findings of the pilot study intended to understand backlash in India.  

DAY 2 | SPOTLIGHT TALKS 


     In this third decade of Indian philanthropy, we should commit to transformational changes and not incremental changes. This can be achieved through collaboration, without fear of failure and through innovative ideas.

​

Samaaj and Bazaar: Congruence over Divergence
​by 
Rohini Nilekani, Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies
      We do recognize the extent of high quality work that is being done by the network of philanthropic and non-profit organizations. The main objective of the government lies in scaling up and how government and the network can work together towards this. 
​

Collaboration and the Government: Unlocking Impact at Scale
​by 
Praveen Pardeshi (CMO, Government of Maharashtra)
       Macarthur Foundation’s ‘100 and Change’ Program is one of the best examples of audacious philanthropy in recent times. They had the humility to decide as a Board, “we know what we want to address but why don’t we throw it out and let anyone apply so we can gauge what we don’t know.
Sherrie Rollins Westin tells the story of Sesame Street and audacious philanthropy that today impacts 150 million children

DAY 3 | SPOTLIGHT TALKS 


      In this decade of Indian philanthropy, we should commit to transformational changes and not incremental changes. This can be achieved through collaboration, without fear of failure and through innovative ideas.
Rohini Nilekani urged philanthropists to collaborate, take risks and have a bold, audacious vision
      Big change can come with Big data - by debating it, reevaluating it, measuring it again and again. A meaningful use of the right set of eyes who can understand the problem.
Dr. Rukmini Banerji cites ASER to explain the power of data to make the problem visible and find solutions to it
       It is such a complex and challenging issue – to work for 25% of the world’s adolescent population – that collaboration is necessary. Collaboration gives us a safety net to take calculated risks, test new approaches, fail and document our learnings.
Xerxes Sidhwa talks about the power of collaboration and human-centric design to impact India’s 250 million adolescents
