Description:
In my leadership role at GivingTuesday Africa Hub, I spearheaded the Community of Practice initiative, designed to equip stakeholders with essential skills for maximum impact during GivingTuesday 2023. My responsibilities entailed orchestrating a series of five key workshops targeting storytelling and awareness raising, event management and facilitation, basic design and presentation, digital marketing, and monitoring and evaluation.
I collaborated with subject matter experts to help deliver these workshops, increase movement visibility, and improve result assessment. From July to November 2023, I managed the execution of these workshops, which were held virtually to ensure broad continental participation.
My role was pivotal in the planning and organization phases, where I synchronized with experts to ensure the delivery of effective upskilling sessions. I also established mechanisms for continuous improvement through feedback collection and evaluation, thus fostering a culture of learning and growth.
Participants were engaged in practical take-home activities, encouraging the application of acquired skills in real-world scenarios. I facilitated a structure where shared plans and peer feedback reinforced a collaborative learning environment, progressively leading to the implementation of comprehensive campaign strategies.
As a testament to the commitment and progress of participants, I ensured the recognition of their dedication through certificates from GivingTuesday Africa Hub. This portfolio showcases my comprehensive approach to leadership, my dedication to community development, and my strategic vision for collective success.
Outcome:
The outcome of this initiative was a robust community of practice that not only aligned with GivingTuesday’s ethos but also primed its members for effective campaign execution, demonstrating a significant step forward in community-led development.
