First Bank Sustainability Centre hosts Sustainable Financial Strategy workshop for NGOs

First Bank of Nigeria Limited, through its sustainability initiative, First Bank Sustainability Centre, in partnership with the Lagos Business School, is set to host a Sustainable Financial Strategy workshop for NGOs.
The workshop scheduled for June 14, 2017 will hold at the Lagos Business School, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ajah, Lagos, and is designed to bring together NGOs and funding organisations, with the intention of enhancing NGOs’ understanding of implementing internal and external sustainable funding mechanism for the financial sustainability of their operations.
The workshop, which is also expected to attract aspiring NGOs, donor agencies and corporate foundations, is also aimed at helping NGOs understand how to foster inclusive partnership with funding organisations as a strategic imperative for developing the external component of their sustainable financial strategy.
Group Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications for First Bank, Mrs. Folake Ani-Mumuney, stated that, “as a responsible corporate citizen, First Bank would continue to foster partnerships that build sustainable businesses, given that NGOs have a significant role to play, alongside governments, in improving the status of our communities and we will continue in our long standing commitment as a nation builder to empower NGOs with requisite knowledge and skills in building vibrant partnerships as they support government initiatives in the provision of much needed succour.
The Sustainability Workshops for NGOs is a Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability initiative of the First Bank Sustainability Centre, established in collaboration with the Lagos Business School to create, disseminate and apply knowledge, build capacity and promote best practice in sustainability business in Nigeria.
