Chasing Systemic Change | Andi Sharma | TEDxSaskatoon

Описание: This talk highlights the critical design flaw of incentivizing isolated impact within our social service sectors and in its place, offers a model known as a collective impact system that is specifically designed to reorient the entire humanitarian paradigm towards a holistic, systemic approach.

Food Security Collaborator | Andi Sharma, MPA, works in a collective impact system known as the Northern Manitoba Food, Culture & Community Fund. The system currently includes over 10 organizations from across Canada who dedicate both human and fiscal resources to food insecurity in Northern Manitoba. Some Northern Manitoban communities face third-world living conditions characterized by extremely limited access to exorbitantly priced healthy foods. Andi works for the Province of Manitoba’s Northern Healthy Foods Initiative, a founding member of this collective impact system, and is actively engaged in evaluating and improving the ongoing sustainability of the model. She is so dedicated to the cause she has recently started her pilot’s license and one day, intends to fly affordable and nutritious food up north herself.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
