    #86: A Tale of Two NAPs: National Action Plans and Much-Needed Naps
    2026/08/27
    For the past several months, Criterion Institute has been wrestling with a deceptively simple question: how do you finance a National Action Plan (NAP) to end gender-based violence? Most NAPs contain detailed commitments, timelines, settings, and responsibilities, yet many remain chronically underfunded. In this episode, Joy takes listeners inside Criterion's thinking process as the team tried to translate these plans into pathways for finance. Along the way, they discovered that many of the frameworks they relied on for years were excellent at describing landscapes and systems, but less useful when reading a plan line-by-line and asking where money could actually move.The episode introduces a distinction that became foundational to the work: the difference between an investment case and a financing mechanism. Costing studies and investment cases play an important political role by helping governments understand the economic consequences of violence and the value of prevention. But those arguments alone do not explain how capital moves, who bears risk, what financial structures exist, or how prevention becomes investable. Joy reflects on the false starts, AI-generated dead ends, framework redesigns, and countless synthesis conversations that ultimately led the team toward a more practical framework for financing National Action Plans. The result is not a finished answer, but a clearer way of thinking about how finance, policy, prevention, and systems change intersect.Episode Highlights00:00 - Introduction to financing national action plans01:55 - The challenge of understanding how money moves in plans02:53 - Distinction between investment case and mechanism07:06 - Frameworks as tools, not solutions10:08 - Applying frameworks to real plans and the need for reflection14:57 - The five categories of financing for national action plans20:12 - The importance of pauses and reflection in problem-solving21:12 - Conclusion: frameworks need naps and refinement Relevant LinksCriterion Institute website and LinkedInJoy Anderson's LinkedInDive DeeperFramework for Financing the Prevention of Gender-Based ViolenceThis framework is referenced repeatedly throughout the episode as the starting point for understanding how finance can support prevention by integrating GBV as material risk, financing what works, and valuing the future created through prevention.A Roadmap for Private Investors: Investing to Address Gender-Based ViolenceReferenced indirectly in the discussion of how investors operationalize GBV considerations and move from analysis toward action.Roadmap for Development Finance Institutions: Strategies to Address Gender-Based ViolenceRelevant to the episode's discussion about how institutions can incorporate GBV considerations into financial decision-making and capital allocation.If you enjoyed this episode, consider listening to:#67: Financing the Reduction of GBV: From Insights to InfrastructureJoy explores the intersection of finance and gender-based violence, emphasizing infrastructure, leverage points, and systems change.

    #85: Changing Your Frame Not Your Mind: Ensuring Your Actions Follow What You See
    2026/08/13
    A colleague recently asked Joy Anderson where she'd changed her mind—the kind of question you ask to find out whether someone is actually learning, or just defending old positions with better language. Her honest answer surprised her, and it probably won't be the one you're expecting. Because over 25 years, the changes that mattered most weren't reversals at all. They were quieter than that, harder to name, and they rearranged how she works, what she'll own, and where she draws the line. Next, Joy walks through a handful of moments where nothing about the facts changed—same rooms, same partners, same work—and yet everything did. It's a reflection on the stories we tell ourselves about our place in the work, why they're so hard to let go of, and what becomes possible when we finally do. She closes by turning the question back on you: what are you looking at right now that might be ready to be seen differently?

    #84: Narratives, Local, and the Stories That Shape Finance
    2026/07/30
    What stories shape what we believe is possible in finance? In this episode, Joy Anderson sits down with Joanna Levitt Cea, Founder and Principal of Valiente Capital Design and co-lead of the Beloved Economies Collaborative for Narrative Infrastructure, to explore the role of narratives in creating economic and systems change. Together, they unpack the difference between stories, communications strategies, and narratives themselves, examining how underlying cultural assumptions influence the ways we understand ownership, investment, opportunity, and power. The conversation explores why narrative change is not simply about finding the right message, but about collective action, organizing, and reshaping the stories that define what people believe is possible. The episode then turns to one of the most common and often unquestioned words in innovative finance: local. Joy examines five distinct narratives embedded within the concept. Rather than treating local as a geographic descriptor, she argues that each narrative carries a different theory of change and implies different practices around governance, ownership, expertise, and value creation. Together, these reflections invite listeners to ask not whether finance is local, but what narrative of local is being invoked and whether the structures of finance actually make that narrative real.
