Showcase: CARE's Scale X Design Accelerator

The global humanitarian aid and development industry has a problem: innovation is everywhere, but examples of successfully scaled solutions are far less common. Even when we achieve impact at scale, the process can take decades.

The global humanitarian aid and development industry has a problem: innovation is everywhere, but examples of successfully scaled solutions are far less common. Even when we achieve impact at scale, the process can take decades. 

Join NetHope and CARE (a NetHope NGO Member), as we share insights and best practices from CARE's Scale X Design Accelerator, which rapidly designs, tests, iterates, and scales bold new ideas across CARE's multi-national system. The SXD Accelerator is a first-of-its-kind platform that arms development practitioners with the skills, mentorship, and resources they need to go from idea to impact. The Accelerator includes training on designing for scale, business model generation, and financial forecasting.

Come with your questions and ideas for feedback!

Whitney Pyles Adams Bio:
Whitney currently serve as the Director of CARE's Scale X Design Accelerator, a new program that applies the accelerator methodology to traditional development and humanitarian aid programs. Rather than focusing on early stage innovation, we focus on moving promising pilots to scale. In addition to overseeing the program for our participating teams, she works to establish new partnerships and bring in key resources and mentors to our Scale X Design community.  CARE is excited to launch Cohort 3 in May, focusing on Women’s Economic Empowerment!
