GLOBAL ACTION ON POVERTY
There are many passionate and committed changemakers who are engaged in the fight against poverty. With the right resources and guidance, many of them can accelerate their progress towards this goal.
GAP Intensive engagements are designed to boost the leadership capability of changemakers and give them access to vital resources and expertise. These engagements typically run for a little over a year. In a typical engagement, professionals from the corporate and social sectors work alongside GAP changemakers during this period to provide strategic guidance and operational support.
These changemakers are doing some impactful work across the areas of education, healthcare and more. In addition, they all rolled out timely interventions for migrants and many other vulnerable groups affected by the Covid crisis in 2020. We are out to help them succeed through GAP.
