Video – RINGO Open House, March 2023

In March 2023, we host­ed a spe­cial Open House to launch Phase 2 of RINGO: from inno­va­tion to trans­for­ma­tion.

Over the past two years, the RINGO Project has been an impor­tant cat­a­lyst for trans­for­ma­tion of the INGO sec­tor to build a more equi­table glob­al civ­il soci­ety. Dur­ing this time, we launched an inno­va­tion lab that built eight pro­to­types, and spurred oth­er sig­nif­i­cant changes in our sec­tor.

RINGO was orig­i­nal­ly planned as a short-term process, due to close in Decem­ber 2022. How­ev­er, our sys­tems change jour­ney is far from over. With WACSI tak­ing over as host and lead of the project, we want to build on our work to ensure long-last­ing impact across the civ­il soci­ety ecosys­tem. Our 10-year vision remains the same: To trans­form INGOs to become more open and equi­table vehi­cles for glob­al civ­il soci­ety. We seek a more equi­table civ­il soci­ety, one in which pow­er and resources are shared.

The RINGO core team has devel­oped a plan for the next 24 months to take us on the sec­ond phase of our jour­ney, and we shared our strat­e­gy with our wider com­mu­ni­ty at the Open House. Watch the record­ing below.
