The seminar explores Piramal Foundation’s journey and its distinctive approach to creating sustained social impact by strengthening state capabilities and working with communities and ecosystem partners. It highlights how the Foundation applies a systems transformation lens, which focuses on shifting mindsets, enabling institutions, and catalyzing collective action to bring about lasting change. The presentation will unpack various insights from digital transformation initiatives across health and education and the playbook to build government ownership and sustain transformation at scale. Reflections from these experiences at a broad level may help reimagining development as a journey of co-creation and systemic capacity building.Web: https://www.piramalfoundation.org/
