Introduction

The global pandemic has seen a number of not for profits (NPOs) suffer sudden budget cuts. This has been exacerbated by the difficult times the world has experienced following the covid-19 pandemic alongside political, economic as well as social uncertainties. This has created to a dire need to relook at the NPO model and its funding base including the introduction of a host of austerity measures for prudent financial management and control of the limited funds in an NPO. Sustainability has become critical owing to the need to grow the NPO revenue streams including sourcing for newer, and innovative ones. There is therefore a need to look at the NPO in an integrated way, including the mission and strategy and aligning it with the culture, systems, structures, resources and stakeholders in a unified way. This includes a need to continuously consider the environment within which the NPO operates in.

It is on this backdrop that Strathmore University Business School (SBS), through its Executive Education department has designed an Executive-Level training on Finance for Non-Finance Managers in NPOs. The program is designed to equip you with the necessary leadership and management competencies geared towards ensuring the sustainability of your NPO. The program is a highly interactive one and entails real life case studies including shared experiences from leading professionals in the NPO world.

• Develop a firm understanding of the NPO ecosystem from an integrated and social value perspective.
