Expanding local, national, and regional early warning systems and enabling them to interact beyond their silos with a global network will require ongoing commitment and funding from the public, philanthropic, and private sectors. Since 2020, the Milken Institute has promoted collaboration to develop and improve early warning systems (EWS) for pandemic preparedness and health security, convening experts and stakeholders to outline a vision for a global early warning network, as well as key considerations for governance, data, and financing. These reports summarize the findings and recommendations from four Financial Innovations Labs® held around the globe. https://lnkd.in/eg_GtT2V #innovativefinance #publicprivatepartnerships

In this week's much-delayed Economics on the Ground, I focus on a key issue as a coda to Women's History Month: how the historic structures and economic opportunities for women, particularly working mothers, have eroded over time and how it is essential to restore them. The childcare and work-from-home issues remain particularly topical today, especially post-2020.

"The story of financial inclusion is still being written and it’s our responsibility to prioritize the impact of innovation on individuals, entrepreneurs, businesses, and the global economy who might not otherwise have access to capital."

Ensuring future leaders are equipped with financial literacy opportunities and education is a cornerstone of our mission. It’s about bridging the opportunity divide in underserved communities and ensuring equitable access to tools and resources that are vital to upward mobility.

We’re thrilled to announce that, in partnership with Wells Fargo, we’re contributing a $1 million impact grant to support HBCU students enrolled in the program.

Last week, I had a chance to cap off Black History Month with SVB, a division of First Citizens Bank. It was wonderful to share the stage with Lo Toney, Founding Managing Partner at Plexo Capital, Kelauni Jasmyn, General Partner at Black Tech Nation Ventures and Jason Miles, CAIA, Managing Director at Amenti Capital Group. Our panel was so much fun, we went over by about 30 mins with audience Q&A! The Panel—“Beyond the Headlines, Realizing the True Potential of Inclusive Capitalism” explored the challenges many demographic based fund will undergo in raising their sophomore funds and provided strategies on what to do next. Thank you to Tosh E., Jeremy R., and Tni Newhoff for having me. Looking forward to doing so much more with the Catalyst 45 team!
