Public understanding of social innovation remains limited. In GCSI’s 2025 country survey, several governments identified lack of clarity and shared language as major barriers to advancing innovation in public systems. The term is often seen as technical or abstract, which can limit support and participation at both policy and community levels. GCSI is responding by investing in a global communications strategy focused on building public narratives that are clear, inclusive, and action-oriented. This work includes the development of accessible toolkits, multilingual messaging guides, cross-border media partnerships, and storytelling resources that help governments and civil society explain what social innovation looks like in practice. The strategy also supports regional communication hubs and local content creators who can shape narratives grounded in cultural context. The goal is to connect people’s everyday experiences to broader system reforms—making innovation feel tangible and relevant rather than distant or elite. By supporting better communication, GCSI aims to increase public engagement, policy legitimacy, and cross-sector collaboration. When people understand the systems around them, they are more likely to trust, participate in, and help improve them.

🚽🌏 Advancing Climate Resilient #Sanitation in #Indonesia As climate risks rise, Indonesia is enabling #ClimateResilient #WASH services. In collaboration with #Bappenas and the Ministry of #PublicWorks, #UNICEFIndonesia piloted the PERIKSA Tool to assess and strengthen resilience in faecal sludge management (#FSM) services across 8 cities and districts. 📘 Sharing this #LearningNote capturing key findings, lessons, and next steps. 📍Key Findings • Climate resilience remains low across all sites • Flooding is the most common climate threat • Major challenges include infrastructure gaps, weak backup systems & limited community engagement • Simple, low-cost actions—like SOP updates and routine #maintenance—can significantly improve resilience 🛠️ PERIKSA is a user-friendly, Excel-based tool developed in Indonesia with UNICEF support. It uses a participatory, multi-stakeholder approach to assess risks, identify gaps, and guide joint action through resilience scoring. 🚀 What’s next? • Web-based PERIKSA tool in development • Nationwide capacity building for its wider rollout Let’s make #ClimateSmart sanitation the new standard! Thanks to Maraita Listyasari Rudy Yuwono for documenting the efforts and the team Accyntyacakti R. Prakasita Katherina Liandy Md.
