About the role
Our partner is a multi-media savvy team passionate about exploring the world and through the use of technology contribute to social change in Columbia.
This partner supports social causes through marketing and communication tools such as videos, photography, graphic design while also providing mentoring and workshops. As a small social enterprise, they support grassroots organisations or entrepreneurs with a demonstrable social impact on a pro bono or low-cost basis and they sell their products and services to social enterprises and local and international NGOs with a higher income.
You will be the first AfID volunteer on assignment with this partner and your role will start with an internal review of the systems and processes, making and implementing recommendations on best practice based on the complexity of their finances, the resources available to the organisation and skillset of staff.
The founders would also like your support with a cost analysis so that they are able to understand how much they should be charging their clients to grow the organisation but still meet their social goals. Based on your assessment they would also like you to support them with a cashflow forecast and train them how to manage a budget.
This placement will have a great focus on capacity building but also in formalizing their processes and accounts and making recommendations for improvement.
