Release systemic chokes that trap us in inequality.

Systemic chokes are the failures of policy, whether by design or consequence, that hinder the ability of individuals and communities to access and leverage innovation for human development. These systemic chokes often take the form of social ills such as binge- and heavy drinking and gender-based violence, or of institutional systems that exclude marginalised groups from equitable access to welfare services and mobile data. Our work aims to disrupt these trajectories of exclusion. Realising our goals requires long-term commitments to the lines of flight we have opened up through reducing alcohol harms and gender-based violence, improving financing systems for social welfare services and removing the obstacle of high data costs for vulnerable groups.

five-year aims:

› Implement effective zero-rating of mobile content and services provided by public benefit organisations.

› Model a comprehensive alcohol harms reduction strategy to be adopted by government.

› Establish a fair and effective interface between government and NGOs providing welfare services.

› Demonstrate effective strategies to reduce gender-based violence.
