Dr. Aneeqa Malik is a published author, economic philosopher and likes to call herself an economic mystic and activist. She is a trained Action Learning Training & Research Facilitator and a Transformation Management Consultant working closely with Trans4m Communiversity Associates (TCA) as their Managing Partner. She assists TCA’s world-wide communities by bringing in her Eastern Sufi impulse to economic fold. TCA, as a Communiversity (university without walls) takes a unique take on unlocking the potential of societies in their own cultural context by initiating a process of societal regeneration through their Trans-doctoral and PHD (Process for Holistic Development) programs.
During her PHD research she coined the term Soulidarity, a soulful impulse for societal and human subsistence. This is why she likes to call herself a So(u)lidarity Process Facilitator and a stewardess for societal transformation and social innovation having multi-functional experience in a wide variety of business/enterprise sectors. Her Soulidarity Economic model is a model for communal self-sufficiency and how communities can generate their own reciprocal endowment for socio-economic well-being. She is in the process of setting up a Chair for Integral Soulidarity Economy in Islamic context at Da Vinci Institute, South Africa, along with her TCA colleagues for their African Centre for Integral Research & Design (ACIRD).
Her first book; Integral Finance: Akhuwat - A Case Study of the Solidarity Economy has been published by Routledge as part of Trans4m’s Transformation and Innovation series. The book is co-authored by Aneeqa Malik as TRANS4M Fellow and Dr Amjad Saqib, founder of world’s largest Qard-e-Hasan (benevolent loans) organisation; Akhuwat Foundation, aiming to alleviate abject poverty from Pakistan by providing interest-free loans to micro-entrepreneurs.
She, along with her colleagues, has initiated various processes of Community Activation Learning & Development (CLAD) programs, in Pakistan, South Africa and Zimbabwe.
