Meet Sanchali, a woman on a mission to help everyone be a good climate-conscious citizen. In this episode, we cover Sanchali's business story and discuss the trajectory for Commons, an app that places sensible choices in the palm of the consumer's hand. We caught up with Sanchali as Common is on its way to scale to one million users. The app's data demonstrates that users can reduce emissions by 20% in the first year alone. This is all part of the company's goal to help everyone 'decarbonize their life' by the 2050 planet targets. Here are highlights of our conversation: - Sanchali shares her journey from working in international development to founding Commons, including her thoughts on what it takes to build, scale, and grab hold of consumer attention in the app space. - We gain insights into the impact the app has on reducing emissions and how users can save money while shopping sustainably. She explains how none of the companies on the app have paid to be there but that all are vetted independently based on Common criteria. - We dive into how users can be better motivated by harnessing rewards and incentives for making eco-friendly choices. - Sanchali talks about Commons' growth strategies, including lessons from working with the Sequoia ARC accelerator and building a team that continues to grow.  - We even get a sneak peek into the app's future developments, including enhanced data visualizations and gamification. Commons, recognized as one of Time's top 100 most innovative companies, is revolutionizing sustainable spending. As the founder and CEO of Commons, Sanchali shares insights into the app that helps users make eco-friendly choices effortlessly. From discovering sustainable brands to earning rewards for conscious shopping, Commons is transforming the way we spend.  Sanchali founded Commons to empower people to make spending choices that are better for them and the Earth. Prior to founding Commons, Sanchali worked in sustainable development at Dalberg, during which time she lived in Ethiopia and India and worked with communities directly affected by the climate crisis.

It was prepared by the global consulting firm, Dalberg, which says that the country could tackle the crisis more efficiently if it were to sign up to the a new global plastics treaty. The report found that the minimum lifetime cost to South Africa of the plastic produced in 2019  alone was a staggering R885 billion. This includes costs generated by the damage to livelihoods and key industries such as fishing and tourism, and the cleaning up of plastic pollution.

“The thing that I found actually resonated [with potential clients] was less of saying how much we knew, and actually playing into how much we didn't know. And actually coming in and saying, look, you shouldn't hire me if you think you shouldn't hire us, our team. If you think that we know more about this topic or your industry than you do. Because then you know, we should be in your job. What you should hire us for is we will take nothing for granted. Because actually, we don't take anything as settled wisdom, because we're not part of the set of wisdom that shaped this context.” -- James Mwangi, executive director, DalbergIn episode two of Driving Change: Made in Africa, Dalberg executive director James Mwangi talks with Sarika Bansal about what it was like to start a business with no name and no brand and build it into one of the most respected international development consultancies. He walks through Dalberg's journey from its days as a start-up in the US to opening its first office in Arica to becoming a global firm offering sage advice throughout the conversation. He is open about his setbacks as well his successes. For example, his choice to stay with Dalberg and to use it as his “bridge” to Africa was unexpectedly tough, coming with a unique set of challenges. Mwangi is particularly insightful about what it was like to be elected the first global managing partner in 2010, at a time when Dalberg was debating its future strategy. His honesty about what he learned and would do differently in retrospect is unusual. The most interesting part of the discussion may be Mwangi's description of what it was like to be challenged as global managing partner, how and why he stepped away from the role and how he continued to shape Dalberg without the top title. “I remember walking up and down a beach on my own at night in Dakar, [Senegal], right after we'd brokered some sort of agreement to keep the whole firm together, and feeling really bad. But then also getting clarity that actually no, this is guidance on what you're actually supposed to be doing in the world right now. And, frankly, it's a good outcome for everyone. If you can just get your ego out of the way.”Today, he is focused on answering one of the biggest questions of this age: “How do we create prosperity through climate action?” For all public policy, international development and consulting professionals, this discussion is both instructive and inspiring.

Petit manuel pour un désenchantement Vienne, septembre 1814. C'est l’heure du congrès. Du "champ de bataille" diplomatique où les puissances européennes tentent de satisfaire leurs ambitions tout en contrecarrant celles de leurs anciens alliés contre Napoléon Ier. Deux grands antagonismes se manifestent: celui de la Russie et du Royaume-Uni, celui de l'Autriche et de la Prusse. La France, vaincue, tente de retrouver une place de premier plan. La Russie et le Royaume-Uni, tout en ayant des vues sur le remaniement de la carte européenne ont des visées mondiales. Le rêve séculaire du gouvernement russe de se rapprocher de l'Europe occidentale, nécessite l'annexion d'une grande partie de la Pologne, au détriment du royaume de Prusse. La Russie se verrait bien présider une fédération européenne et devenir, de ce fait, un géant européen. Elle aspire à démembrer l'empire ottoman afin de se rapprocher des détroits du Bosphore et des Dardanelles, ce qui offrirait l'accès à la Méditerranée, au grand dam de la marine britannique, maîtresse de cette mer.

How often do you try to fail? If the answer is not often, you're too comfortable in the things you're directing your energy towards. If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough, you're not trying anything new or risky. If you're not failing, you're not truly learning. Elisabeth Cardiello knows just how powerful failure can be. If you've seen the Netflix documentary, "Coffee For All," you may already know Elisabeth Cardiello. This Brooklyn-native had her first business cards at six and first product on shelves at 13. After college, business school and four years on Wall Street, she dealt with loss, found her passion and started a coffee company called Caffè Unimatic. After a decade of deconstructing why conversations over coffee are more genuine and less stress inducing than the conversations we have in boardrooms, she created a framework to reinvent the way organizations communicate. BRAVE Conversations Over Coffee is rooted in the tenets of neuroscience, positive psychology and hostage negotiation and gives organizations a way to address sensitive topics such as inclusion, burnout and mental health in order to build trust and unlock greater productivity.In addition to working with leaders at high stress companies like Facebook, Dalberg, Sumitomo Mitsui Bank and the NYPD, Elisabeth is an instructor for Simon Sinek's InspireU, two time TEDx speaker, spoken at UN Conferences, given Congressional briefings and has been featured by Forbes, NBC and Goop, among others. She also created a methodology that builds confidence in the young women and has traveled around the country speaking in Entrepreneurship Departments and Women in Business organizations. Her family is still wondering where that shy 9 year old went...Elisabeth’s mission is to build a world where coffee is the catalyst that inspires deeper listening, safer spaces and hence, greater access to our own creativity, connection and fulfillment.In this episode, Elisabeth thoughtfully shares with us how failure shaped her life and her career.Listen to this episode and learn about:- How Chris and Elisabeth are related (0:51)- Elisabeth giving credit and thanks to her childhood babysitter, Miss D.

They may not all be resident in one organisation, but if we can get the right group of people together, the right structures, then we can solve many problems much faster than we anticipated.” Kola Masha, MD of Babban Gona ( and Lead Coordinator for GiveFood.ng) “A critical part of the system was around motivitating everyday Nigerians to recognise this challenge and step forward and provide as little as $1 to provide a meal to persons in need. A key part of that coalition has been the strategic communication partners. Here in Nigeria, Africa Practice has played an incredible role in leading that whole aspect of the initiative .''

Dalberg is a strategic advisory firm serving a wide range of clients, from foundations and NGOs to private firms and governments. The firm was founded in 2001 and aims to create a world where all people everywhere are able to reach their full potential. In this episode we discuss how they're tackling COVID-19 implications and advising their clients accordingly.   Development and impact is key for Dalberg and, today, they are a group of companies with 30 offices globally and interests in a wide range of activities, including: human-centered design, data analytics, on-the-ground research, transaction advisory, media and advocacy, and increasingly implementation capacity.   Edwin started his career at McKinsey & Co in New York in 2001. He notes how 9/11 was actually his second day at work and it was a defining moment in his life that helped shape his outlook and appreciation of impact and the importance of things besides traditional shareholder value maximisation.   Dalberg works closely with national governments, the UN ecosystem and multilateral agencies. They’ve become the largest top-tier advisory firm in Africa; larger even than those that don’t focus on mission and impact to the same extent.  They appreciate that many markets in the global south are the most forgotten and the least able to access professional support, and they’re keen to ‘localise’ their approach, meaning that in any given country where they operate, between 60% to 80% of staff are from that country themselves.   Thematically, they cover everything across the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since, as Edwin notes, everything is tightly interconnected. You can’t fix malnutrition in children, for instance, by focusing on health alone. The drivers may well be agricultural issues, or trade issues, or education issues – everything is interconnected.   COVID-19 has been a major shock to every single client they serve; private, governmental, philanthropies; it has impacted everyone across the board. When advising clients on how best to brace themselves for the arrival of COVID-19, there are three core things they’re focused on:   Firstly: Understand thoroughly what the situation is today, and respond appropriately. If you’re a private venture, consider your supply chain, your workforce and your distribution networks, for instance.  If you’re a government, what does this do to your fiscal space and your ability to raise taxes. If you’re a philanthropist, which places do you invest in, and are you taking a portfolio view. Even in this immediate context, what are the things you can do today that can have a long-term impact for your own organisation and business. Edwin emphasises that in the middle of a crisis nobody has perfect information, so you need to have a system to constantly assess what’s going on so you can respond accordingly. Also, recognise that the decisions you made yesterday may not be the correct ones for today, since you may now have new or better information that you didn’t have before.   Secondly: Start understanding what are the mid-term impacts that COVID-19 will likely have on your firm, government or philanthropy, and make decisions that provide for the best possible floor for your organisation so you don’t crash through it and therefore are unable to recover when this crisis concludes.   Thirdly: Proactively start to plan for what the post-pandemic world could look like. Because the decisions you make today could lock you in a negative space if you don’t think long-term enough on what recovery begins to look like – you may be tempted to get rid of capabilities or assets or partnerships that you might need to reacquire further down the line.   It is important to recognise that the first thing you’ll feel is panic; the world is falling on your head and you don’t know what to do.  It’s important to acknowledge this but, also, you need to park that to one side and then move to a more deliberate approach to understand the expected impact on your organisation and then start to plan appropriately for what the response looks like.   Even at Delberg themselves, they started tracking COVID-19 in early January 2020 and once they realised that this virus wasn’t going to be contained in China, they very quickly started having business continuity conversations and ensuring the most important matters got attention from the very most senior leadership in the firm. We don’t know what the crisis will look like but we know that we can prepare today as best as possible so we can aim to respond appropriately.   Towards the end of February they stopped all international travel at Dalberg, which was very difficult to do, especially keeping in mind their on-the-ground research and human-centered design work.  This was difficult but it was the right decision to protect their staff, the communities where they’re based and simply to be good citizens of the world and reduce the risk of transmitting this virus as they’re travelling through airports.   Edwin is based in Nairobi, Kenya, and he explains how there, too, they experienced initial panic followed by anxiety. This is a challenge for government leaders because on the one hand you want to protect the health of your citizens and on the other you want to protect their livelihoods – many people don’t have savings and are manual workers. It’s a very challenging reality. In some communities social distancing is simply impossible, with high-density communities, no running water, no possibility for remote working.  A taxi driver or a labourer in a construction site simply cannot telecommute and, yet, these are the most vulnerable segments.   In response, Dalberg is incubating coalitions that can tackle these challenges in effective and scalable ways.  ‘Safe Hands’ is one such initiative. It’s a coalition of Dalberg and new tech companies in Kenya, and manufacturers and distributers aimed at providing the hand sanitisers and face masks so desperately needed, and ensuring as much as possible of these get to informal communities.  It’s large scale manufacturing at the lowest possible cost.  Almost everyone in the coalition has said they’re putting aside the profit motive to ensure they’re protecting these more vulnerable communities.   Another initiative focuses on unconditional cash transfers to those who are most vulnerable. These cash transfers help people so they can continue to operate and exist as individuals. Cash has a strong economic multiplier because it ensures the local shopkeeper is still able to sell products and, therefore, the supply chain is maintained.   They’ve started these two coalitions in Kenya, but their aim is to use these as examples for others to build similar coalitions in countries across the globe. They want to share the model, the lessons they’ve learned and ensure they share this insight with others.   Edwin notes that some philanthropists in the global south have stepped up to the challenge; Aliko Dangote being one such example.  The bit Edwin underscores from a global north philanthropy perspective is that everyone is being called to support the same cause. Everyone is being approached to help with COVID-19, irrespective of whether they live in San Francisco or Zimbabwe or Senegal. This is a departure from what has traditionally been the case, where philanthropists in the developed world would be approached for very different things in their local community versus the needs they might address in the developing world.   Also, because of distance and the inability to travel at present, it’s important for philanthropists to listen to insights from the frontlines. What’s happening in response to COVID-19 in California, for instance, may be interesting but not necessarily directly transferable to what’s happening in Tanzania. So, if you’re already working with partners in the front lines, be much more attentive to the things they say they need, versus looking at your local partner simply as a ‘delivery partner’.   Edwin also brings into the conversation the need to pay attention to what’s happening in the global east.  The people who are furthest along in dealing with COVID-19 largely sit in the global east – China, Singapore, Hong Kong.   They’re weeks if not months ahead.   Unfortunately, though, from a technical perspective, the link between the global east is weakest with the global south.  So, a lot of this knowledge tends to be intermediated by a Western institution. The China context in a development perspective is much closer to an African context than New York or Italy, for instance.  Edwin recommends that as philanthropists today are thinking about where they can provide support today for global south partners; rather than the traditional question of how do I go through a global north institution, which then works with a global south institution, ask yourself 'can I actually find a way to tie the connection between global east and global south'? Because this transmission of knowledge is what needs to happen in a much more accelerated way in today’s world.   Key takeaway: He wonders, how can we expand individuals’ moral universe.  How can we expand empathy and people’s understanding of just how connected we all are. Therefore, looking out for each other is in our own selfish best interests. Hopefully, when we look back on this crisis, we can say 'did we build back better' because all our interventions had a person at the centre of what we were trying to achieve. And that person was not those who we currently consider to be in our moral universe but it’s actually much more global and much more expansive. Because this is the only way we will find long-term solutions to this challenge. To Edwin, COVID-19 is the first of challenges humanity is going to face. Climate change is just waiting around the corner.  We can use this crisis to build back better; an ability to respond will require us to all start from a position of greater and deeper empathy, particularly for leaders across the world, and then hopefully create the systems and institutions to make that possible.   Visit Lidji.org for guest bios, episode notes and useful links.
