Many African governments speak highly about role of innovation and SMEs as necessities to take Africa forward. High unemployment levels and lack of corporate employment opportunities also force people look opportunities in becoming entrepreneurs. Many NGOs and funds have invested a lot in creating a wide variety of actions around “innovation” yet concrete results – besides bunch of seminars, events and programmes – seem to be lacking.

**RE-POST from Ogilvy&Mather slideshare account.** I spent several months in sub-Saharan Africa last year to establish Ogilvy & Mather's social media capabilities in the region. This doesn't make me an 'Africa expert'(!) but I compiled a trends report based on my observations, reinforced with data, cases, examples and anecdotes. The report covers consumer, business and digital marketing trends with actionable call-outs answering "what does this mean?" It is written for Global Marketers and business people who are looking to launch or improve their Africa business ... as well as anyone open to busting a lot of the stereotypes and misinformation about Africa. In sum, it's an inspiring place we are simply not looking to enough.

Digital storytelling to attract international foundations: How to access, attract, and engage international foundations online In our ever-increasingly digitally connected world, NGOs from around the world potentially have the opportunity to access the $150 billion in annual philanthropic giving by the 260,000 foundations worldwide. Unfortunately, many NGOs lack the information necessary to understand how to go about doing so. In this webinar, participants will learn about how to leverage effective digital storytelling to attract, inspire and engage with international foundations online, while differentiating themselves from the more than 10 million NGOs worldwide, through: - Use of a storytelling framework that catalyzes international donors and demonstrates the credibility necessary to overcome common challenges faced by organizations engaging with geographically dispersed donors. - An understanding about how to research and connect with international donors and which online platforms to use to tell their own stories. This practical 30-minute webinar will also provide links to valuable resources to conduct further research on your own and to take steps to begin your NGO’s journey to access, attract and activate international foundations.

Proudly Defining Your Organization's Success Panel Presentation. The basic premise is that everyone one in high school wanted to sit at the cool kids' table....Your Donors Want to Do So Too! In this June 23rd, 2017 presentation that was part of an AFP 2017 Fundraising Day panel, I shared my insights about what Afrika Tikkun USA has done to define its success as a means to attract and retain donors. The key being that everyone wants to feel that they're part of a winning team, and therefore the organization has to represent itself accordingly.
