Impact Across Border – IAB

Impact Across Border (IAB) is a cross-border initiative that uses social innovation and entrepreneurship as tools to empower individuals and communities to improve their livelihoods and create meaningful change. Launched in early 2024 after winning the YSEALI “A Decade of Impact” grant competition, IAB offers a hybrid platform of online and in-person workshops, training, mentorship, and networking across Myanmar. IAB recently expanded its efforts to the Thai-Myanmar border, supporting small-scale migrant-led enterprises and local changemakers with practical knowledge, resources, and guidance. From youth to grassroots leaders, IAB equips people from all walks of life to turn challenges into opportunities through innovation and community-driven action.
