Adaptation exchange: Sharing experiences, building community

Hosted by: The Womanity Foundation; Center on Gender Equity and Health; University of California, San Diego

Description: Often, those working on adaptation stay focused on their key partners and projects and are unaware of or disconnected from processes, thought, resources and practice of others also working to adapt violence against women and children prevention programming. This siloed working means we miss out on learning from and sharing with others which could make our adaptation work stronger and propel the body of knowledge and practice for adaptation forward. Community building and collaboration among organizations and funders committed to adaptation is essential to strengthening adaptation efforts. This small, invite-only event hosted by Womanity Foundation and the Center on Gender Equity and Health will bring a curated, diverse group of colleagues working on adaptation together to build relationships, share information and resources, discuss opportunities and challenges and encourage future connection and collaboration.
