S2, Ep. 1: Change makers in the global South - collaboration and innovation in the health sector

Loading player...
The Just for a Change podcast team is back for another season of this noteworthy podcast on social innovation and systems change! In season one we focussed on unpacking and showcasing social innovation and entrepreneurship through the lens of systems change thinking. Season two builds on this foundation and we start to look both locally and outside our borders to the global south. What is the global south? What social innovation is happening and what aids this innovation? Who are the changemakers behind these innovative approaches and solutions? What keeps them going and what keeps them awake at night? How do we continue to change the way we’re changing the world?

In season two’s inaugural episode the focus is on changemaking collaborations and innovations in health across the global south. The Social Innovation in Health Initiative, also known as SIHI was started in 2014 - a collaborative effort amongst a number of funders and organisations to encourage collaboration and create a community of support in the health sector across. Podcast host, Kentse Radebe, chats to 4 SIHI members across the global south to hear about this collaboration, the health innovations they’re part of in their respective countries as well as the value that they have found being part of this global initiative.

If you’re looking to change the way you’re changing the world - then this podcast is for you.
