Our Strategy (2022 – 2027)
Last year (2021) marked the second year into our 5-year strategy. However, the past two (2) years presented challenges occasioned by Covid-19 pandemic and as such, we refined our strategic framework to cover the following areas that will define our work between now and 2025:
Alignment to International and Development Agenda
We shall continue to contribute to the sustainable development goals (SDG 1, SDG 3, SDG 4, and SDG 13 that resonate with our priority areas) and the National development frameworks of Uganda (NDP III and Vision 2040), particularly on wealth/job creation through enterprise development.
Building Enterprise Ecosystem
We shall intentionally build alliances and collaborate with like-minded organizations in the public, private and development sector, to build the enterprise ecosystem, to drive impactful solutions and achieve more than what we would have achieved on our own.
Social Mission and Impact
We shall purposefully tailor our business model to engage in activities that cause meaningful change in the society, especially around job creation, poverty alleviation, and engagement of young people (youth and women).
Innovations
We shall purposely innovate and develop solutions aimed at building resilience in the enterprise ecosystem to navigate and adapt to the Covid-19 posture.
Our action areas are anchored onto our quest to be the thought leader in enterprise development – we aim to consolidate our offerings in technical and knowledge support in business development, transactional advisory, project management, specialized research and bespoke training to our clients in the public, private and development sector.
