Unlock Your NGO’s Potential: The Impact Storytelling Masterclass

Are you ready to transform how your NGO communicates its mission and impact? Join us for a transformative masterclass designed specifically for NGO administrators and founders who want to elevate their storytelling skills and amplify their organization’s voice.

Why This Masterclass Matters

Many misconceptions surround the work of NGOs and their crucial role in tackling developmental challenges. It’s a common belief that NGOs simply gather donor funds and squander them on frivolous activities. Even respected figures, such as a former Minister of Women Affairs, have echoed this sentiment. While some media coverage exists, it often falls short of making a lasting impact.

The reality is that nonprofit organizations contribute significantly to development, yet their efforts are frequently overlooked. While it’s tempting to point fingers at public perceptions, we believe that the onus is on NGO leaders to effectively convey their stories. Sadly, many lack the essential skills to do so.

Are You Facing These Challenges?

– No clear communications strategy

– Gaps in storytelling expertise

– Limited social media management skills

– Insufficient community engagement

– Disconnection between M&E and Communications teams

We developed the “Civic Action, Sustainable Communities” campaign aimed at showcasing the contributions of CSOs to sustainable development in Nigeria. Digital marketing was deployed across all social media platforms and relevant content curated from the 200 benefiting CSOs on the ACT Programme. A weekly interactive radio program was produced for thirteen weeks across four locations (Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt and Abuja) on Nigeria Info and Arewa Radio. About twenty-five CSOs and other stakeholders involved in the ACT Programme featured in an international documentary showcasing the impact of the programme. Investigative journalists and feature writers were supported to publish stories and reports covering the thematic areas of the ACT Programme on AIT, Guardian, Vanguard, ThisDay, The Nation, Leadership and BluePrint newspapers. A website was also designed to serve as a repository for all campaign project activities.

The campaign resulted in more recognition and appreciation for CSOs contribution to development in Nigeria by citizens, open dialogue between CSOs and regulatory agencies and other CSOs wanting to be part of the campaign. Asides the social media campaign a documentary about the ACT Programme and its impact on CSOs across Nigeria was produced. Teo-Inspiro leveraged her relationship with broadcast and print media organization to publish feature stories about the positive impact of the Programme in Nigeria.
