Welcome to the final episode of season 4 of How Could We?, a podcast by ⁠⁠⁠⁠EIT Climate-KIC.⁠ This season features insights from the Systems Innovation Learning Partnership (SILP), a collaboration between the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, (Sida) and EIT Climate-KIC. SILP is designed to foster adaptive and innovative approaches to development work, emphasising trust-building, flexible funding mechanisms, and genuine local capacity building. Our guest this week is Marion Iceduna from the Join for Water organisation in Uganda. In this episode, Marion shares the inspiring work she is doing to strengthen the capacity of women in knowledge development and conservation planning. With funding from the SILP experiment fund, her team was able to experiment with establishing WORIAs groups (for WOmen River Ambassadors) and identifying the conditions under which they can operate. This episode discusses the transformative power of deep collaboration and radical learning in development funding, outlines the challenges and benefits of creating a diverse and synergetic learning portfolio and the impact of receiving flexible and inclusive funding without stringent KPIs or timelines for project development and implementation. -- This episode was presented by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Anne-Sophie Garrigou⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠Solla Zophoniasdottir⁠⁠⁠ and produced by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Bárbara Mendes-Jorge⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Listen to our previous episodes - Season 1 focused on Sustainable Forestry and Land Use, Season 2 explored the New European Bauhaus initiative, while in Season 3 we explored three themes related to the climate emergency: Climate Narratives, Confusion & Crisis and Radical Collaboration. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠EIT Climate-KIC⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is Europe’s leading climate innovation initiative, aiming to accelerate the transition to a zero-carbon, climate-resilient society by supporting innovative solutions helping society mitigate and adapt to climate change.  We want to hear from you!
