In this 90-minute session, our speakers will share key insights from SIGNAL, a research project to understand the needs and experiences of 40 leaders of systems change initiatives across Africa and North America. Sponsored by the Garfield Foundation and Mastercard Foundation, the project has revealed 7 key insights, some of which have powerful implications for the funding of systems change work. SIGNAL is a project of the Illuminate field-building collaborative.
You'll also hear directly from system leaders and funders who are advancing powerful collective leadership approaches to systemic change—and what they most need to be successful in this work. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to both hear from and connect with other funders who are advancing systemic change funding strategies in their work.
