Social Innovation and Sustainable Livelihoods
PN
Asian
Social innovation
is the process of creating and enacting new ideas to address social issues. People’s
Venture
livelihoods are
constrained by different bundles of local factors: economic, cognitive, normative,
power Philanthropy
and politics. Social innovation attempts to identify and address which of these challenge the
realization of
sustainable livelihoods the most.
Network
Conference 2015
As of late, social innovation has become an ideology- innovation is good, but more innovation is
better. This has lead to the phenomena of innovating for the sake of innovating. Consequently,
innovators sometimes fail to consider productive perspectives on social innovation that facilitate
strategizing, resource allocation, and learning.
in Practice
This plenary session explores the role of social innovation in addressing the challenge of sustainable
livelihoods, with panellists discussing and debating the following questions:

Venture
not only financial,
but also human, intellectual and social capital. The key to achieving greater

development
outcomes lies on multi sector collaboration.

Foundations, corporates and governments can deliver far greater development outcomes by
partnering more efficiently. Examples of successful collaborations already exist and show that efficient
partnerships lead to enhanced development outcomes, especially when they build on each party’s
strength.
Conference 2015
in Practice
How can we foster more partnerships across sectors? How do we navigate the various organization
systems which have different working methods, timelines and incentives?
This session will highlight some of the opportunities and challenges in leveraging philanthropic
resources to engage in multi-sector partnerships and support the global development agenda.

Conference 2015
Recently, the Shell Foundation and Village Capital (VilCap) published a report on leadership in
social enterprises, which reveals the need to identify, develop and retain talent in social enterprises.
What are the right kind of talents – at which stage, how long do you develop and when do you need
to fire old as well as hire new talent?
in Practice
In this session, we will bring together fund managers (Unitus Capital/Capria), experienced investors
(VilCap), social enterprise leaders (ex-d.Light) and sector players (Synergy/ANDE/Nexus;
International Centre for Social Franchising) to discuss practical takeaways in hiring, developing and
retaining leadership talent in social enterprises.

Effective Capacity Building
PN
Asian
Capacity building
is inherently about improving the effectiveness of social purpose organizations
Venture
(SPOs) to deliver
on social outcomes. Capacity building requires both financial and non-financial
capitalPhilanthropy
to develop stronger SPOs. Funders, however, often prioritize allocating resources to the end
programs over
capacity building efforts, which can consequently inhibit social outcome success.
Network
Conference 2015
This plenary taps into the deep experience of our speakers to explore the lessons learnt in their
respective capacity building journeys and offers an opportunity for the audience to question how
those lessons can be applied meaningfully in Asia.
in Practice
Key Takeaways
- Why is capacity building important?
- What needs are you most qualified to help with?
- How does this affect your due diligence process?
- What are the main challenges in the delivery of capacity building over time?

at AVPN, we encourage the community to work across sectors in order to leverage on

Asian Opportunities for Social Impact with The Rockefeller Foundation
Identifying High-Impact
Venture
For more
than 100 years, The Rockefeller Foundation has been committed to improving the wellbeing of
Philanthropy
humanity. But
how does it decide which pressing problem to invest in addressing, among the many facing
Network
our economies, ecosystems, health systems, and communities? How can it make investments that don’t just
‘do some good,’ but are highly-leveraged—actually catalyzing transformation?
Conference 2015
For us, the answer lies in identifying problems that are not just pressing, but also dynamic and ripe for
engagement and innovation. Through a fast-paced, forward-looking workshop, we will immerse participants
in the methods and tools that we use to identify high-leverage opportunities for social impact. Participants
will:
in Practice
- Identify early signals of change around pressing social, economic, environmental, and health problems
in Asia
- Assess the “ripeness for engagement” of different problems
- Explore future possible global shifts that could affect problems of interest, as well as investments in
addressing them
Programme Book
Participants will leave the workshop with early ideas about new social investments and opportunities for
impact.

Endorsed by FIL Foundation

At OneSky, we have learned how to give at-risk
children, if we can reach them early enough, a second
chance at a bright future. And we now understand
how to bring together the adults who are responsible
for these young lives and teach them how to gently
transform broken systems and practices to benefit,
rather than damage, vulnerable young children. We
see the potential in every child — real potential that’s
worth real investment — and we show those adults

KNOWLEDGE SHOWCASE
Dealflow Platform
You've come to the AVPN Annual Conference to get updated on the state of social development
across Asia, connect with partners and learn from peers. Rather than do this once a year or each
time AVPN brings
an event to your country, you'll soon be able to stay plugged in to these
Asian
activities round
the clock!
Venture
Philanthropy
PN
At the core of
increasing collaboration within the social impact sector is the AVPN Deal Flow
Network
Platform and AVPN has launched a beta version in collaboration with early adopters from the
community. This early version of the Deal Flow Platform will allow AVPN members to post
funding or non-financial support requests from the social purpose organisations that they are
supporting. These requests will be publicly accessible to AVPN members and non-members alike.
AVPN's role will be to facilitate information sharing of such funding requests within the
community, but not to function as a broker. Drop by the Knowledge Showcase to preview this
beta version and more importantly, share your feedback on where you see the gaps in the sector
today and where we should focus our efforts!
Conference 2015
in Practice
For the rest of 2016 and the future, we have exciting plans in a number of areas. So please drop by
at the Knowledge Showcase to share your thoughts on what insights the sector needs to move
forward and discuss with us how you can get involved.

In alignment with our clients' top-of-mind concerns, we believe we have a responsibility in
helping clients with their philanthropic pursuits. By offering them support at every stage of their
philanthropic endeavors: from strategy definition to structuring, and from implementation to
impact evaluation, we are a true partner with our clients at every step of their journey.
In nurturing next generation philanthropy, BNP Paribas Next Generation Program serves as a
platform for young philanthropists to foster experience sharing and connect with fellow
practitioners. We incorporate philanthropy topics into the program to help nextgeners explore
new tools and concepts to make a positive social impact.
