Wayfinding East Africa’s social innovation ecosystem

Event starts on 8 October 2026

To celebrate Ashoka East Africa's 25th anniversary, and ahead of SIX Wayfinder Nairobi this November, EdelGive/SIX and Ashoka East Africa are bringing together perspectives from practice, academia, policy and funding. We will explore what "everyone a changemaker" requires in infrastructure, incentives and culture, and what it would take to carry the solutions already working in East Africa further. The conversation will be co-facilitated by Ashoka East Africa and EdelGive/SIX.
