Overview

Follow-up support package for Social Impact Management Training “Solutions to Optimizing Value”

Background

Globally, it is estimated that an additional US$2.4 trillion a year will be needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across the world by 2030, with US$1.6 trillion needed globally for infrastructure financing alone.

UNDP Egypt  has implemented a first of a kind training aligning with contemporary approaches to managing impact with the aim to catalyse the impact investment ecosystem in Egypt. It also complements UNDP’s global SDG Impact Program. This program aims to empower investors and businesses with the clarity, insights, and tools required to support and authenticate their contributions to achieving the SDG’s.

The Social Impact Management Training delivered in February 2019, provided 20 management consultants with the skills and resources they need to carry out their own social impact analysis. It enabled them to create the culture and systems in place for an organization to improve their impact management. It also prepared individuals to apply for the Social Value Certificate that is applicable for an organization or project and outlined what is required by a practitioner to produce an impact or Social Return on Investment (SROI) report that can be assured by Social Value International.

Moreover, participants understood how to measure impact, but also how stakeholder-led evidence can identify where impact can be improved. This aligns with contemporary approaches to managing impact and how these can be linked to the United Nation’s Global Goals.

In this context, UNDP Egypt country office is seeking a service provider for a follow up support and mentoring package to the 20 management consultants (divided into 5 groups) that have completed Impact Management training during the month of February, 2019, and are now applying their learning in the field.

The 5-months follow-up support package will provide online support and mentoring including webinars, online video platforms, email communications and phone calls. Its main target is to help participants to better communicate to their clients, to improve the products they deliver to clients and ensure closure of their client assignments with well -defined agreed-upon products in a reasonable period, to help their clients to manage their impact in a timely manner, while understanding the benefits of impact management.
