Part 0 of Acumen virtual bootcamp series can be found here.
Task: Watch Acumen Manifesto and Behind the Manifesto. And reflect on your work and the audacious vision that you are building toward.
Acumen Manifesto reflects an attempt to explain the goals of Moral leadership, as well as the qualities inherent underlying the change makers. The story of Kenyan women was containing pearls of wisdom. It was an informal education on how inspirations come in the life, society and career.
The bootcamp is a virtual community coming from the areas of of public policy, entrepreneurship, rights based work and technology. There is a deep intellectual capabilities in understanding where things are going wrong, bleeding heart for empathy and courage in building a strategy for change. The diverse mindset present here will help me to understand how to facilitate systems change and create more inclusive social systems through the use of market forces. I am hoping to understand how each leader is providing services/products to their target community.
The perseverance for the livelihood of individual farmers and the millions who collectively rely on smallholder farmers for food security is an essential component of ours work. But they are more than consumers; they are entrepreneurs and risk takers. I am trying to use interventions to achieve a triple bottom-line: increase farm productivity and incomes gradually, help farmers adapt to climate change and mitigate them with risk of market failures. I always work to transform NGO into social enterprise, developing go-to market strategies, and strengthening the partners ecosystem. Hoping to do this with the support of community of change makers. For, where there is life there is hope.
