PROJECT | ORGANISATIONAL REVIEW, STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT & THEORY OF CHANGE

Strengthening capacity for future proofing overseas investment and impact

This project is supporting the co-production of an organisational wide (international & cross-partner) operational and partnership strategy for Kids Club Kampala (KCK), an international NGO working to support people living in slums area of Uganda. KCK are in the process of developing greater democratic governance, inclusive communication and stronger and diversified income generation so they can develop long term change models and expand their work across East Africa.

The process…
Using an inclusive workshop approach The Wilder Network worked with the KCK UK team to critically assess their approaches to sustainability, governance and partnership. This included a co-produced process of reviewing fundraising capacity and income streams, and exploring organisational culture, structure and development. The team refreshed their knowledge of M&E, reflected on issues of power, participation and sustainability within the sector, and co-developed future strategies that will strengthen their development models, their partnerships, their relationships and their organisations.

The outcomes…

• Strategic development process that clarifies vision, develop plans and a governance structure
• An organisational review and fundraising audit
• An accessible and branded Theory of Change
• A 3-year strategy/ plan with a road map for best practice programme delivery, inclusive communication that showcases impact and financial stability for future proofing and expansion
• A reporting system that supports inclusive beneficiary feedback mechanisms, as well as ensuring strong donor accountability through systematic tracking of outcomes using co-created indicators of change
• Mentoring and coaching

Kids Club Kampala’s Theory of Change

Emily is helping us navigate an important strategic journey to enable KCK to expand our work with children and families in East Africa. Her practical and accessible approach to facilitation gave us the space we needed to conceptualise what change looks like for us, assess what we do, and consider our approach to localisation and empowerment.
