The "Unconference: Beyond Data, Beyond Borders” was an open space for over 100 representatives from social enterprises and nonprofits to collectively address challenges explore innovative solutions, and develop a collaborative ethos centered on data-driven learning for social impact. ACA was represented by Debby BIlity and Joy Kiminja from SFA. Communities often possess a wealth of knowledge, skills, and resources that can be cultivated to address various challenges effectively. Local communities understand their own needs, culture, and context better than external entities, making them well-positioned to develop solutions that are tailored to their specific circumstances. These grassroots approaches can lead to more sustainable and impactful outcomes in the long run. Leveraging localized data can also provide valuable insights into the unique dynamics of a community, enabling more informed decision-making and targeted interventions.
