Groups
Creating partnerships for learning across the ANDE community.

ANDE’s groups, including Learning Labs and Action Labs, are neutral convening spaces for diverse practitioners to share best practices and new research, discuss hot topics, and learn from one another. They also offer a venue for joint research or action on key issues.

About Groups
Join a group.

Most groups are members-only, and many are led by members themselves. Each operates with a different timeline and level of engagement. Some groups are global, while chapters lead certain regionally focused groups on topics including metrics, SGB finance, women’s entrepreneurship, talent, and more. Chapter groups may be convened in the local language.

Members signed in to the member portal can join groups to receive updates and personalized recommendations based on your preferences.

India SGB Finance Learning Lab

This group seeks to provide a space for comprehensive discussion and knowledge sharing among intermediaries looking to better support SGBs in the area of access to finance. It helps address issues that challenge both ANDE members and the SGBs that they support as they seek to access debt and blended finance capital.

India Talent Learning Lab

The conversation around scaling challenges for SGBs and intermediaries has so far been largely focused on external factors like raising capital, while internal factors such as talent and team development, organizational culture, and leadership have been neglected. The ANDE India Talent Learning Lab aims to address this gap.
