To pilot Global Change Program in 2023–2024, Incite awarded its first GCP grant to Dr. Allison Benson-Hernández, a former Obama Foundation Scholar whose organization Re-imagenemos (Reimagining) is fostering the first national-level conversation about inequality in Colombia.
Incite’s funding will supported the project’s program of eight regional dialogues on inequality, followed by local dialogues in each of Colombia’s 32 departments. Through these dialogues, more than 150 people from different social backgrounds and professional perspectives will work together to build an agenda of community-led initiatives on inequality.
With Incite’s support, Re-imagenemos organized Cross-Regional Dialogues On Inequality across Colombia reaching in excess of 20,000 people.
