The Asia P3 Hub (P3 = People, Public, Private) works with corporates, start ups, government, academia and non-profit organisations to build strategic, mutually-beneficial partnerships and bring about transformational change to address key social challenges within communities across Asia Pacific. The hub’s first focus area addresses water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector solutions. The Asia P3 Hub is based in Singapore and was launched at Singapore International Water Week in July 2016. The Hub is unique as it is hosted by an international NGO (World Vision International) but is an open space for collaboration.
The Asia P3 Hub currently has 4 operating models:
- Sourcing for effective solutions and funders to solve specific issues at the local country level.
- Co-creating scalable solutions (with other resource partners) across Asia Pacific to solve a regional problem.
- Help companies explore the BOP (bottom of the pyramid) markets through field trips, product testing, market studies and leveraging on the networks and relationships that NGOs have in the local communities.
- Building the multi-sector partnering ecosystem through networking, keynote events and co-creation conversations.
Our key value propositions are:
- We leverage partnerships and collaborations to create market-based, scalable solutions for big humanitarian issues.
- We address the complex inter-relationships that characterize humanitarian concerns, through our unique tri-sector approach and system design thinking.
