Vikāra Institute (formerly operating as EcoVentures International)

Vikāra Institute, formerly operating as EcoVentures International, is a non-profit, process-driven learning and technical inquiry organization accelerating inclusive development to support resilient and growing systems.
For International Development, the evolution of systems thinking has been somewhat erratic. As these pockets have evolved, a gap in the way to connect, learn and combine advocacy efforts has evolved alongside them. The Vikāra Institute has evolved, primarily as an informal network that has connected these various pockets, developing learning and sharing tools and tactics, and actively communicating about and advocating for the value of systems thinking. The Vikāra Institute is now formally organized around a combination of support services that are central to creating a more powerful attractor around how to deal with complex social challenges, including market, political, health, education, youth and environmental challenges.
