Systems Innovation Learning Partnership (1000 x 1000 px)

A collaboration between the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and EIT Climate-KIC, the Systems Innovation Learning Partnership (SILP) explores how systems innovation can help us rethink our responses to some of the world’s most complex challenges.

From increasing the capacity of individuals and organisations to creating novel or alternative approaches to systemic challenges, SILP aims to embrace ideas outside our knowledge and build a community of practice for like-minded innovators and pioneers in the field.

SILP’s long-term vision is to influence international development cooperations to make transformative impact that shifts global power dynamics. Ultimately, we believe that systems innovation is a way to understand and address the underlying assumptions, habits, behaviours, and models that get in the way of change.
