Signature event
AVPN South Asia Summit December 2023
12 - 13 December 2023
Novotel Juhu Beach
Mumbai, India
Introduction
Bringing Fringes to the Fore
South Asia's rapid economic growth, led by India and Bangladesh, exceeds the global average. Yet, the journey towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is shadowed by disparities and uneven advancements. Tackling these challenges calls for purposeful social investment, emphasising the need to bring the fringes to the fore, ensuring that marginalised communities aren't left behind.
Leveraging the region's rich tapestry of social investment practices, India's philanthropic legacy combined with Bangladesh's microfinance strides paints a backdrop ripe for monumental shifts. The emerging impact investment ecosystems and the notable contributions from countries like Nepal and Sri Lanka in global giving further enrich this narrative. The collective regional story, primarily shaped by India and Bangladesh, crafts an evolving narrative of both challenges and achievements propelling the SDGs.
Join us at our two-day Summit, a melting pot of South Asia's philanthropic traditions and the dynamic world of impact investing. We'll delve into:
Philanthropy
Transitioning from legacy-driven giving to strategic and evidence-based initiatives, emphasising the importance of prioritising those at the fringes. We’ll retrace the philanthropic footsteps of the region and envision the future of inclusive, purposeful giving.
Impact Investment
As the region increasingly marries profit with purpose, we’ll spotlight varied impact investment strategies, with a special focus on projects that uplift marginalised communities, charting the course for sustainable transformation.
Engage with us as we explore how philanthropy and impact investing intertwine to reshape giving in South Asia, with curated dialogues on pivotal themes, including the crucial task of centering the marginalised.
