Summary
When the Trump administration dismantled USAID, it was the beginning of a post-aid era, says philanthropist and social entrepreneur Jacqueline Novogratz. Aid may not be coming back but in its place Jacqueline hopes creative solutions will emerge to provide independence and dignity at the community level. Jacqueline is the CEO of Acumen and has helped move over $500 million to businesses tackling poverty and climate injustice. She and Sherrell discuss how Acumen works to build newer and smarter economic models of philanthropy, the responsibilities investors have to helping organizations grow with dignity, and why projects that help local communities excite her. This is episode four of a four-part series airing this month on TED Tech, where host and climate tech journalist Sherrell Dorsey speaks with climate leaders on the technology sparking a greener, more equitable future.
