Social and behavior change (SBC) is a strategic process for understanding and facilitating changes in behaviors, social norms, and the environments that influence them. The approach applies across multiple sectors, including health, education, agriculture, finance, environment, and governance.

However, SBC initiatives increasingly face financial risks threatening their sustainability and impact. Recent shifts in donor priorities, including policy-driven reduced reductions impacting SBC funding in Africa, underscore the need for innovative financial management. Social development organizations must strengthen financial resilience by applying proven risk management strategies from various financial and non-financial sectors.

This webinar will explore how financial institutions, public finance policies, alternative funding models, technological innovations, and governance frameworks mitigate risks and how these insights can be adapted to SBC and social impact initiatives. It will provide practical tools and insights to help organizations navigate financial challenges such as economic volatility, currency fluctuations, inflation, and governance-related risks, ensuring long-term sustainability and impact.
