Guest Welcome & Introductory Speech by Mrs. Debola
Deji-Kurunmi (Executive Director, Ideation Hub Africa)
The much awaited Development Dialogue with the theme "Spurring Africa's
Development by Social Innovation and Leadership" kicked off on the 26 th of
November 2015, with a welcome speech by Ms Debola Deji-Kurunmi, where she
welcomed guests and attendees to the epoch making event specially prepared for
social entrepreneurs and development practitioners.
Speaking further, she noted that CSR practitioners are a vital part of the value chain
of advancing social change. Noting that Government plays a critical role and is the
most significant engine which drives development, she called for synergy of ideas
and collaboration between the civil society and Government in order to accelerate
growth and development.
She ended her remarks with a focus on 3 key areas revolving around the social
development
space.
1. There is a wide increase of development organizations in Africa, with Nigeria
arguably having the highest concentrations, however the numbers are not
commensurate with the social impact and results on ground. Social innovation
needs to go beyond setting up an NGO or an enterprise. It is about ideas that can
scale with minimal resources.

Guest Welcome & Introductory Speech by Mrs. Debola
Deji-Kurunmi (Executive Director, Ideation Hub Africa)
2. The bigger issue is that beyond having a passion for social change, are social
entrepreneurs poised for success, equipped to deliver value and prepared for
social impact? Do they have access to an active and viral ecosystem which
enables them to tap into networks and opportunities which is key in creating
needed change. There is an underdeveloped development ecosystem currently in
Africa, and there is little or no collaboration within practitioners, and the social
development
space.
3. Do social entrepreneurs have access to the right mentorship, insights and
training on order to enable them become exceptional in the field? Are they
conducting data driven research targeted at clearly defined audience with a view
to creating the much needed change? These are very key and important issues to
pay attention to.

Development Dialogue – Keynote Speaker: Dr Ousman
Dore
Dr. Ousman Dore has been the Country Director of the African
Development Bank in Nigeria since May 2011. Prior to joining the
bank, he worked as a Senior Economist at the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington D.C from 1992 – 2007. During
this period, Dr. Dore worked on several European and African
countries e.g. (France, United Kingdom, Norway, Iceland, Cote
d’Ivoire and Ethiopia) and served as the IMF Country
Representative in Senegal and as Mission Chief in Guinea-Bissau
from 2003 – 2006.
During 2007 -2008, he was appointed as the Minister of Finance,
Economy and Planning in his home country of Guinea, where he
contributed largely to the turnaround of the economy and the
normalization of the strained financial relations with the donor
community.
Dr. Dore holds a PhD Degree in Economics from the University of
Minnesota, U.S, an M.A in Mineral Economics from the University of
Arizona, and an M.A in Public Administration from Harvard
Kennedy School, Cambridge, U.S

Keynote Speech by Dr. Ousman Dore
Starting off his keynote address, Dr. Ousman noted that Africa's growth over the
past decade has shown considerable promise for further growth and
development. The fact that 6 of the recent fastest growing economies in the
world are from Africa, also lays credence to the immense opportunities we are
presented with as a continent.
He however pointed out that despite these encouraging developments, the
witnessed growth has not yet translated to job creation or economic
advantages for the citizenry, and hasn't trickled down long enough to be felt by
all and sundry.
Speaking further, he noted that the starting point of any analysis in the
economic growth gained by Africa should however start from the standpoint
that it hasn't translated to poverty reduction or in opening up the space for
economic inclusion and benefits for the masses. This calls for deep thinking and
a change of paradigm in order to ascertain which models helps translate
growth and development into concrete and verifiable change.

Keynote Speech by Dr. Ousman Dore, Contd.
The African Development Bank has come up with a 5 point agenda to accelerate
growth and development in Africa, and they are based on the following;
1. Power Africa
2. Feed Africa.
3. Integrate Africa
4. Industrialize Africa
5. Improve living conditions of Africans.
Africa needs to imbibe an innovative culture that cuts across all strata and sphere
of society. Government, academia, and the private sector all have a role to play in
supporting the development sector space, nurturing innovation from an early
age, as well as promoting risk taking culture in social entrepreneurs.
Africa has a large number of young social entrepreneurs coming up with
innovative ideas, solutions, products and services, but the key questions is how is
this quickly translated from ideation and prototype stage, into productive,
commercial and wide spread scale and use for the benefit of society.
As Africa pushes its transformative agenda, it must put creativity and innovation
at the center of its transformation.

Interesting Engagements – Attendees at the Dialogue

Development Dialogue – Short Seminar Speaker: Mrs.
Ndidi Nwuneli
Ndidi Nwuneli is the Founder of LEAP Africa, one of Nigeria and
Africa’s leading non-profit organizations, the co-founder of AACE

Short Seminar by Mrs. Ndidi Nwuneli
Social Innovation: A new approach to solving problems that confronts society.
This could be an idea, system, approach, or a physical product or service.
Most organizations have beautiful and well articulated vision and mission
statements, but not many have paid attention to a key and critical element,
"Structure"
A lot of enterprises and organizations want to scale organically, but not many
have figured out the most effective and easiest way to get this done.
Attracting mission driven, high achievers is very essential. We also have to
invest in regular training and capacity building of our workforce in order to retain
talent.
Most people who started off with us may not necessarily be the same ones to
take us to the next level that we wish to get to.
The secret for the success of any organization rests in its Board. ‘Get A Board In
Place’
Contrary to popular notions, there is a lot of money in and available for Africa.
The big issue here is that it is not trickling down as needed and as expected.
Consider cross subsidization, challenge funds, angel investors and impact
investing as viable options for funding your ideas, innovations and enterprises.
A lot of us don't like to work together, and would rather do it all by ourselves
and alone. Partnership is Key.

Short Seminar by Mrs. Ndidi Nwuneli, Contd.
The Government wants to be included right from the beginning, they want to feel
like partners and vital stakeholders, so you need to pay attention to this.
Business Model:
How many of our innovation is demand driven? Most often, we see a need and
assume the need has to be filled. But the question is that do people really need it
enough to be able to pay for it?
Demand or Supply Driven?
Unfortunately, some of our interventions are capital intensive, and are often not
demand driven, but mostly supply driven. As a result, the lifespan of such
innovation and interventions only lasts for as long as funds from donors are
available to sustain it.
Impact Measurement:
How are you measuring your impact, and are you measuring it at all? It is
expensive and difficult to measure impact, however until we are willing to do it,
the effectiveness of what we do and our interventions will be limited, and we will
not be able to tell our stories effectively.

Short Seminar by Mrs. Ndidi Nwuneli, Contd.
Simplicity.
Is your model simple enough that it can easily be replicated with minimal funding
or efforts. Many of our models are so complex that if we are not physically
present, everything grinds to a halt, this should not be the case.
Be Investment Ready.
"If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go with others"

Snippets from the Panel Session:
Chude Jideonwo said:
The sheer amount of work that NGOs have done in order to fill the gap where Government has
failed or is virtually inexistent is very clear.
We live in an interruption and intervention based society in Nigeria, which is not ideal. We need
to leap frog and move from that into an intelligently designed society, where businesses and
enterprises are set up primarily to solve critical social issues in more sustainable ways.
Social enterprises and innovation isn't a fashionable idea or the latest in thing, the evolution of
society has always hinged on problem solving, which most times are simple, everyday
solutions.
Social issues have taken center stage, and society is looking for innovators who can create
sustainable business models around solving those issues in a creative and sustainable manner.
Funding is like a demon which confuses, and in so doing, you end up changing your vision and
mission constantly based on conditions attached to such funds. Sometimes, funding comes for
projects you're not passionate about, and in the long run, such interventions become
burdensome to you rather than inspirational.
Sometimes, you need to spend your own hard earned cash to build capacity in areas you're
most passionate about, in order to bring about targeted interventions which would make more
impact.
Focus instead on data, data clarifies. Focus on your mission and processes, they clarify. Then
clarify your principles, and funding will come.
Don't stop playing the music of your heart just to try to fit in, it's not worth it.

Snippets from the Panel Session:
Dele Osunmakinde said:
Working in Nigeria could be a tough nut to crack sometimes, and it appears everyone is
working from different spectrums of engagement which makes it hard to achieve synergy in
our work or interventions.
Amongst development practitioners, there seems to be a disconnect within the space which
limits interaction and collaboration.
There are very few home grown / focused opportunities and platforms within the
development space in form of summits, conferences, workshops or seminars for practitioners
to engage, relate, communicate and network with each other.
Development practitioners need to take pragmatic steps to create a viable value chain to
bridge this divide. We also need to reach out, engage, interact, form a unified coalition, and
improve relations amongst ourselves.
There are certain aspects of your social interventions that you can run with little or no help
from anyone, focus on those while you're starting up and build capacity and credibility along
the way which in the long run will attract the necessary finding you require.
Start at your level and build your way up. In little or no time, the people you need and those
that need you will find and locate you.
Vision that is clear, and virtue that is right, will always produce victory that is certain.

Snippets from the Panel Session:
Mosun Layode said:
I drink a lot from my networks, and there is just so much to learn from people who have gone
ahead of you in the development space.
Training is key, but there is also so much learning and value that can be obtained while on the
job.
Be in a constant mode of learning, and always attend meetings, summits and conferences.
Leverage the advantages on the Internet, and subscribe to Google alerts to keep yourself
informed on areas where you are most interested in.
Make the Internet and Google your friend to know what's happening and how best to adapt
to changes and developments in the world.
Pay attention to volunteering, internships, scholarships and exchange programs, as they offer
alternative modes of learning.
Your networks and mentors are very important.
Keep searching for information to keep abreast of information in your sector.
Don't stop learning and don't stop reading.
The non profit tag in front of your work shouldn't reduce the professionalism that the
development sector demands and requires.
You need courage to say no when people bring things which are not in line with your goals
and
vision.

Snippets from the Panel Session:
Akin Olukiran said:
There are over 46,000 registered NGOs in Nigeria at the moment, and the issue we have at
the moment is not the availability of organizations, but the ability to measure their impact.
We need to redefine our purpose, aims and objectives, in order to facilitate effective
collaboration which leads to measurable and scalable impact in the society.
We must be open to strategic alliances and partnerships that will move the development
space and sector forwards.

Snippets from the Panel Session:
Adenike Adeyemi said:
It's very unfortunate that the term NGO has been bastardized in Nigeria. We need to
understand that we run non profit organizations, and we are clearly not charitable
organizations.
We don't make direct gain or untoward financial returns from our interventions, however, a lot
of aspects of our enterprises needs to be funded in order to bring about sustainability in our
operations.
Oftentimes, development practitioners are faced with the issue of having cutting edge
solutions which will make a great impact in the lives of the intended beneficiaries, however, the
current non profit model makes it unsustainable.
Strategic partnerships and support comes ahead of funding or for social enterprises, we
therefore need to re-evaluate the way we look at sourcing or accessing funding in a holistic
manner.
We must focus on measuring the impact of our work and interventions. If we don't do this, it
would amount to wasted effort and resources.

Snippets from the Panel Session:
Iyinoluwa Aboyeji said:
Build a data driven approach into your model right from the start.
Scaling requires you to have a big mission from the very beginning. The next key factor is
measurement, and the last factor is financing.
You'll have to leave out your emotions and deal with the numbers, if you want to push your
innovation, idea and enterprise forward.
The lack of regard for pilots in this part of the world is astonishing and it limits progress,
scaling and sustainability.
When you start your intervention, define your key metric. This goes back to data and
numbers again. Measure everything you do, it helps your work and is very critical.
The missing link in social development is data.
If you can't survey your community appropriately, your intervention will ultimately be wrong.
Data sourcing, measurement, analysis, and aggregation is a skill set that every social
development practitioner must have.
Don't approach partnerships and collaboration from a beggarly standpoint, start where you
are, do what you need to do and prove to yourself that you're doing something worthwhile.
Ignore distractions, focus on the goal, and keep heading moving.
If you have a mission, you do not need permission. Stop asking for permission, Just Do It!!!

The future we envision
IDEATION HUB Africa
Learn • Rethink your possibilities • Create • Work your Ideas • Change the World.

At Ideation Hub Africa, here’s the Future we envision
We envision a future where:
Development practitioners constitute a phenomenal
engine of economic growth and social prosperity in
Africa; partnering with the government’s efforts and
closing the gaps in polity and governance.
There is widespread collaboration across and beyond
sectors to increase social profit, scale impact and widen
reach, maximizing limited resources.
Social entrepreneurs engage the “enterprise model” in
an efficient and functional way to build sustainable
businesses that have both commercial and social value.
Actors are equipped and skilled to create solutions
through capacity building that shapes development
outcomes.
Social innovation is not only driven by social change
agents but active participants in for-profit businesses,
academia and others at the fringes.
