The Social Sector encompasses the dimensions of development that shape human well-being, capabilities, livelihoods and social inclusion. It covers areas such as health and nutrition, education, skills and employment, rural development, water and sanitation, housing, social protection, social justice and empowerment, including the development and inclusion of tribal, minority and other disadvantaged communities.

These case studies illustrate how new approaches to development, combined with frontier technologies, are enabling sustainable impact at the grassroots and at scale, while extending resources, services and opportunities to the last mile.
