Craft:Impact

Kevin Starr: Impact Accountability and the Craft Sector


Listen Later

As one of the world’s largest employers, the craft sector needs to have more meaningful dialogue on how we collectively drive more measurable impact - and what that can mean for millions of craftspeople around the world.  

In our first conversation, Harper and Benita sit down with thought leader Kevin Starr, CEO of the Mulago Foundation to talk about how the craft sector can do a better job of achieving and measuring impact. Kevin’s latest piece in the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Don’t Feed the Zombies, is a must-read for anyone working in social enterprise. 

Take a listen to our conversation where we discuss: 

  • What is a “zombie” in the social impact space
  • How we can do a better job of using craft to achieve measurable change in peoples’ lives
  • How Kevin Starr and Mulago Foundation evaluate impact in the craft sector
  • How to support craft organizations in Palestine and Israel
