World Vision’s Innovation Lab for the Nepal Earthquake Response addressed three major challenges.

2. How to integrate the innovation capacity of the private sector with the expertise of NGOs and communities in Nepal The Innovation Lab offered a physical and virtual space to facilitate partnerships between a range of local and international actors, with individuals and organizations from an array of backgrounds and experiences working together to achieve success for recovering communities.
3. How to demonstrate to others that innovation can help communities build back better after catastrophe The Innovation Lab aimed to produce practical, useful, replicable and scalable solutions leading to greater investment in developing countries.
