Duke-UNICEF Virtual Forum on Social Innovation: Staying Lean and COVID-Resiliency

Panel Discussion: Staying Lean and COVID-Resiliency

Social enterprises all over the world have adapted to survive the pandemic, embracing lean approaches while continuing to innovate, particularly in the WASH sector. Entrepreneurial spirit and agility are more important now than ever, particularly in the Global South where the Delta variant, combined with delayed access to vaccines creates an ongoing threat to public health and local economies. In discussion with social enterprises and funders, this panel will discuss how social enterprises have survived, or even thrived throughout COVID.
