“I took part in the ZANACO Grant ESG Toolkit training in Q2 of 2022. I had little to no knowledge on how to identify and measure explicitly the SDGs we were working on. This training helped me and my team gain practical skills in managing for impact. We were guided through the SDG Impact Standards, to effectively integrate impact, sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our business decisions and practices. “

“The three-day Zanaco grant ESG tool kit ession was engaging and insightful. Dr. Christian Kingombe, our assigned mentor, taught us how to make a positive influence on people and the planet without sacrificing profitability. Impact Assessment Strategies were addressed. Impact assessment and capital-raising for Impact Enterprises were discussed, as well as the Impact Muraga Stephan,Muraga Stephan, Value Chain, the Impact Pyramid, the Materiality Map, and the Theory of Change. We have Implemented the 5-step approach for growth and practical effect requirements. “

” The IRT given came at the right time when we needed it. It gave us the opportunity to interact with entrepreneurs who are like minded where we were able to learn entrepreneurship experiences from different countries. These are lifelong experiences in our entrepreneurship journeys. The training covered the areas that are important for entrepreneurs to know in order to manage the growth and sustainability of the business.
From the time we started attending and completing the training, our business has really improved resulting from the knowledge gained.
“

” he training was precise and straight to the point, providing everyday use cases which made it easy to grasp within a short period. It was definitely an eye opener for me, visualizing how the 17 SDG’s are not just a UN goal, but was blown away by the realization of how these goals fit into our organization’s strategy one way or the other. I highly recommend any leader transitioning to a new role or pivoting to their next level in their career to take this course as it is a wake up call on the importance of values and human prosperity. I would also recommend it to founders/co-founders, executive leaders who need a reminder of why they started their company, what their overall objectives were and if these fit into their current state of affairs.”
