Pepal

Scaling up and achieving sustainability of high-quality HIV prevention and treatment services in Myanmar: Board of Innovation for Pepal.
Pepal is an international non-governmental organization which supports other local NGO’s in Myanmar, Tanzania & Uganda. They design and deliver on-site leadership trainings for the executives of NGO’s and multinationals. 

In these programs, leaders from businesses, NGO’s and the government come together to apply their leadership skills in an unfamiliar context, to sharpen their people skills and to develop new ideas to solve the social issues at stake.

In 2016 & 2017 Board of Innovation assisted Pepal in the facilitation of such a collaboration between Johnson & Johnson and 3 local NGO's in Myanmar.
The NGO’s, in this case, were Alliance Myanmar, Ratana Metta Organization and Phoenix. 

The goal of this program was to help a variety of local NGO’s in Myanmar to become financially sustainable as most NGO’s in Myanmar rely on only one source of income, generally donor funding. However, the misinterpretation of GDP calculations has switched the country’s position from low to low-to-medium income, which could result in organizations losing their donor funding. Our challenge was to find new sources of income to allow them to keep on providing their services.
