Needs Assessment
We talk about your members, their stage, their challenges, and what you want them to leave with.
Institutional partnerships
Your members need training. Let us build the programme around them.
I work with NGOs, SACCOs, CBOs, government agencies, and corporate foundations to design and deliver business training and digital skills cohorts that fit the specific needs of their beneficiaries and report back outcomes that funders and boards care about.
Structured training. Relevant delivery. Measurable outcomes.

What a partnership looks like
From first conversation to final report
Programme Design
I recommend the right ILO framework or combination of modules for your group and scope the delivery.
Cohort Delivery
Training is delivered on site or blended, adapted to your members context and digital access.
Outcomes Reporting
I provide documentation of what was covered and who took part, plus the changes participants report, in a format you can use in funder reports. The exact reporting format is agreed during programme design.
