FIRST Bank of Nigeria Limited through its Sustainability initiative, FirstBank Sustainability Centre, in partnership with the Lagos Business School, is set to host a Sustainable Financial Strategy Workshop for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs).
The workshop is designed to bring together NGOs and Funding Organizations, with the intention of enhancing NGOs understanding of implementing internal and external sustainable funding mechanism for the financial sustainability of their entire 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 organizations as a strategic imperative for developing the external component of their sustainable financial strategy.
Group Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications for FirstBank, Mrs. Folake Ani-Mumuney, stated that “as a responsible corporate citizen, FirstBank 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 succor.
