CONSTELLATIONS AWARDS 2023
Introduction
The Constellations Awards was launched by AVPN in 2020 to celebrate the remarkable ways in which social investors across Asia collaborate to address the complex challenges of our times.
Asia is big, diverse, and complex – and so are its challenges. Today, Asia Pacific faces an estimated annual funding gap of USD 1.6 trillion to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Since its launch in 2020, the Constellations Awards has illuminated the ripples of positive impacts of 15 outstanding projects across Asia. The laureates have responded boldly with systemic solutions. They have established shared aims and pooled resources to meet the moment with imaginative action, and meet those challenges through collaborations that pioneer solutions at scale.
In 2023, the Constellations Awards put a spotlight on collaborations that advance gender equality in Asia. Capital can empower the voices of equality and enable women to realise their potential as leaders and agents of change in their communities. If we are to close these staggering gaps in gender equality in Asia, it is vital that we take strong, deliberate, and proactive collaborative action to unlock capital to create a more equitable world for women and girls in Asia.
In 2023, we are proud to recognise 3 outstanding collaborative solutions that are creating a more equitable world for women and girls in Asia:
2023 Theme
While there are substantial improvements in women’s literacy and life expectancy in Asia and the Pacific, gaps persist in education, health, employment and leadership. Discriminatory norms and practices, restrictions on mobility and heavy household responsibilities continue to limit many women’s economic and social activities outside the home, dampening their opportunities for economic security, independent decision-making and personal growth.

Capital can empower the voices of equality and enable women to realise their potential as leaders and agents of change in their communities. If we are to close these staggering gaps in gender equality in Asia, it is vital that we take strong, deliberate, proactive collaborative action to unlock capital to create a more equitable world for women and girls in Asia.
The projects we celebrate in the Constellations Awards are inspiring, but more importantly, they are practical. Demonstrate how you have harnessed the strengths of different actors, drive positive change and achieve long-term impact, share your game-changing point of view. Does your collaborative project have the potential to catalyse impact at scale by providing new means of accessing capital?
Are you a pioneer? Pave the way for others – inspire them to mobilise their capital towards impact and a more resilient Asia.
