How innovation can solve our current humanitarian and development challenges

In November 2020, the Uganda RIL hosted a discussion during Kampala Innovation Week on how the transforming innovation scene and its potential to solve humanitarian and development challenges can benefit marginalized groups.

Covid-19 has hit the most marginalized groups hardest, in terms of sustaining their livelihoods, and maintaining education opportunities for their children. At the same time, undeniable creativity is being noted as the crisis also catalyzes innovations.

Yet, we face challenges in rolling out those innovations. How are they benefiting those marginalized groups? How to make innovation socially inclusive? How can entrepreneurs innovate for social impact during this crisis?
