NOBODY BUILDS ANYTHING GREAT ALONE. ✅Dangote is not building alone. ✅Wigwe and Aigboje and others did it together. ✅Tony Elumelu is only the face of UBA but backed by partners & co-owners. Stop saying that Nigerians are greedy and can't be brought into what you are building. You are the problem. You are the greedy person who doesn't want to share ownership. That's why you can't grow beyond where you are. Your next level is in next level partnerships/collaborations. ©Charles -------------------------------- Are you a sincere Onlineprenuer struggling to move your ideas from concept into reality?

🌿 Rattan Cane Chronicles: Crafting a Livelihood in Ibadan Metropolis 💰 Ms. WURAOLA BIYI-AYETOSO and Dr. saka Oladunni Jimoh introduce a world where saws, hammers, and a dash of entrepreneurial spirit turn raw materials into profit. Strategic interventions can transform rattan processing in Ibadan from craft to industry, unlocking new economic potentials.🪑💸 https://lnkd.in/gQFhTfVu #RattanCane #IbadanEconomy #EconomicSustainability

Strategic interventions can elevate this sector, enabling local artisans to scale up, create jobs, and boost the economy. There will be an improvement in local prosperity, positioning Nigeria globally through increased export transactions. We can enhance livelihoods, generate foreign income, and contribute significantly to her economic growth when focused on export transactions rather than imports. However, as we push for industrial growth, we must advocate for sustainable practices. The regeneration of trees is crucial to ensure that our resources remain abundant and our environment thrives. Let's create a sustainable future where economic progress and environmental stewardship go hand in hand. Special thanks to Dr. saka Oladunni Jimoh for his invaluable contributions to this project. #RattanCane #IbadanEconomy #Sustainability #ExportPotential #Entrepreneurship #EconomicGrowth

I followed economics in high school, university, and two professional bodies, but at no place gave me enough knowledge of Co-Operative business models. Always we discussed about demand and supply and how markets can be efficient ( Which now i know it is not ☺) and share holder wealth maximizing. We were thought we can do stake holder management while maximizing shareholders wealth. But why this amazing sustainable business model is hidden from public. We talk about sustainable business, circular economy, fair trade, labor rights, transparency. Its all in one with co-operatives. Here is an small attempt to educate Sri Lankan youth on the extraordinary success of over 3million Coops in the world. #Coops #Sustainability #Development https://lnkd.in/gQYbqVdW

#Edutainment does more than entertain. It shapes our understanding of the world and sparks change – and even the use of #FinancialServices. 📽💸 Programs like Makutano Junction have demonstrated this impact, inspiring 138,000 low-income women in Kenya to open savings accounts. Now, Makutano Mamas aims to inform and inspire rural women’s use of SACCOs in #Kenya. By combining relatable characters with key information on how SACCOs work and are led, this reboot can strengthen the role that vital financial service providers play in rural areas. CGAP, The World Bank Food and Agriculture Global Practice (AGF), and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) believe that informed storytelling can strengthen rural #SACCOs and encourage women’s participation in their leadership. Join us in exploring how edutainment can continue to drive #FinancialInclusion. Share your research or examples of how it’s improving financial lives!

In a world increasingly driven by technology, decentralizing infrastructure to underserved regions is more important than ever. At Impact360, we are committed to breaking barriers and decentralizing events to make them more accessible and relevant to communities across the country. For example, why should all agricultural events take place in Nairobi when the majority of farmers are in Nyandarua? Our mission is to bridge this gap and bring impactful events closer to the people they serve. With this vision in mind, we are thrilled to announce our first decentralized event in Kabarak on February 1st, 2025. This marks the beginning of a movement to ensure events are aligned with the geographical realities and needs of different communities. We believe collaboration and support will be key to making this initiative a success. Join us in reshaping how events are planned and delivered. Let’s make an Impact360 together!

Tips for Crafting Impactful Narratives in Social Impact Branding The Power of Storytelling in Brand Strategy for Social Impact Organizations in Africa. Storytelling is transformative for NGOs and social enterprises in Africa. It creates emotional connections, drives engagement, and builds trust, making it invaluable for those striving to create meaningful change. Here’s why storytelling is crucial: 1. Humanizes the Cause: Stories make abstract issues tangible and relatable. 2. Builds Trust and Credibility: Authentic narratives showcase transparency and real-world impact. 3. Drives Engagement: Compelling stories mobilize communities. 4. Differentiates: Unique stories help organizations stand out. Examples of impactful storytelling include: - UNICEF: Shares powerful narratives of children and families transformed by their interventions. - The Kilimanjaro Project: Highlights collective efforts in reforestation. - Jibu: Focuses on local empowerment through clean water solutions. - WaterAid: Underscores the importance of clean water with personal stories. - One Acre Fund: Showcases farmers' success stories. Many of these organizations align their missions with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), amplifying their impact and appeal. Personal Note: I have been privileged to work with all of these organizations except WaterAid, which has been a remarkable journey of learning and growth. #Storytelling #BrandStrategy #SocialImpact #NGOs #Africa #SustainableDevelopment #CommunityEmpowerment #UNSDGs #MarketingForGood #MellowCreme #TransformativeStories #InspireChange #BrandAuthority #CommunicationsTraining #SocialEnterprise UNICEF Jibu Inc.
