In this week's episode, Jonathan Hall hosts a discussion with Hamzah Sarwar, the Global Social Impact and Partnerships Director at Reckitt,  and Monika Frech, the Managing Director & Chief Operating Officer at Yunus Social Business. The episode focuses on their involvement in  social impact initiatives and collaboration on the accelerator program. Yunus Social Business's accelerator program aims to empower  social entrepreneurs in the global south by collaborating closely with corporations, providing resources and integration into corporate  value chains.

Monika emphasises the growing trend of impact accelerators and how corporations actively foster social businesses, combining profit and  purpose.

Hamzah talks to the critical role of business in driving systems change – and how the Fight for Access fund has been designed to help  make access to health, hygiene and nutrition a right, not a privilege.

The collaboration between Reckitt and Yunus Social Business leverages corporate resources and talent to amplify and nurture social  businesses. The conversation explores the concrete steps of the accelerator program, including needs assessments, program objectives,  selection of social entrepreneurs, support, mentorship, and evaluation of program impact.

The episode offers transformative insights on driving social change while achieving business

success.
