Instiglio

Achieving improved outcomes for migrants and refugees requires that they be integrated in host countries in terms of having identification, right to work, access to healthcare, and other essential services. However, implementing policies to achieve this is no small feat. Mobile populations are difficult to reach and track, reliable data is often lacking, and scaling programs without compromising their original effectiveness is a persistent challenge. Tying funding to measurable results can help address these issues, but results-based financing remains an underutilized tool for enhancing outcomes for refugees, migrants, and the communities that host them. Today Gabriela Vargas Tobón, Nicolás Hernández Muñoz, Ana María Pérez Patiño, Mateo Zárate Cáceres and I published an article in Forced Migration Review building on our experience at Instiglio with Semillas de Apego, Fundación Santo Domingo, Mired Barranquilla IPS, and others, sharing insights that we hope will be helpful to others working to improve the cost-effectiveness of interventions. Thankful to the Forced Migration editorial team for their support along the way, and looking forward to reading the other articles in the issue. You can find the whole issue (no paywall!) on the Forced Migration Review website.

#People | Last month, our team members, Obed Matara and Matilda Bosire, participated as guest panelists at Strathmore University's Leavers Fair where they engaged in discussions about life after university, emphasizing the importance of discovering one’s unique path in an ever-evolving world.🌍 They shared valuable insights on cultivating effective communication, proactive questioning, and adaptability - essential skills for navigating the journey beyond the classroom. In addition, they shared their experience working in the international development space at Instiglio, and how they are contributing to its mission of using results-based approaches to accelerate greater social impact for governments and aid institutions.🌟 This event provided a necessary platform to mentor young minds and empower them to think critically about their roles in driving meaningful change. We appreciate Strathmore University's Alumni Association for hosting our colleagues to share their career expertise while inspiring the next generation of changemakers.👩🎓👨🎓 Interested in learning more about our mission and exploring exciting career opportunities?

Being on the road with our newly-minted Global team is one of my favorite parts of the Instiglio adventure. A big part of it is connecting, dreaming together and pushing through the hard inflection points of change with visionary and changemaking government and public leaders. Today in Bern with my partner in crime Nicole Pflock, we reconnected with long-time champions, Christian Brändli and Luca Etter, who’ve supported government transformation in Colombia, Tunisia and Morocco, across LAC and Africa, and now advancing it here in Switzerland in their own agencies. Christian even showed us around Bern to this wonderful viewpoint!

One of the perks of going to SOCAP Global this year in San Francisco was running into fellow Princeton School of Public and International Affairs alum Asya Troychansky, who had just released the Pathways to Growth report on how #investors and #SME s can drive gender inclusion (link here: https://lnkd.in/eEwzrUDW).
