Civil Society Organisations, which include NPOs, NGOs, CSOs, NPCs and Social Enterprises, struggle with financial survival in the here-and-now, never mind long term. And that pressure sometimes overwhelms any planning for the longer term. But, financial pressure is not the only factor affecting an organisations survival.
Now Capacitate, with the assistance of Deutsche Bank, have launched a unique set of management tools for Civil Society Organisations – a pulling together of all sustainability focus areas, providing advice on how to manage these operating areas. This help for non-profits is a first of its kind here, and probably anywhere.
Capacitate’s Director, Jason Bygate, meet with Paul Pereira and discussed how these tools work, who should use them, where to get them, and why they matter big time.

With over two decades of dedicated service at the confluence of development finance, social impact, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria, Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D), digital inclusion, and financial inclusion, I have been at the forefront of transformative initiatives across Africa. I am deeply committed to leveraging technology and data to drive impactful change in some of the continent's most challenging contexts.
My journey began with a focus on understanding the intricacies of implementing projects with and for communities, which laid the groundwork for my subsequent endeavors into broader areas affecting societal progress. Recognizing early on the potential of ICT4D, I have been an advocate for digital solutions that address critical issues like access to education, healthcare, and financial services. This passion has led me to work closely with NGOs, governments, and the private sector to implement strategies that not only foster digital inclusion but also ensure that the benefits of such inclusion are equitably distributed.
Throughout my career, I have been privileged to collaborate with diverse teams and lead projects that have made significant strides in financial inclusion. By integrating ESG principles into the core of financial services, I have helped organizations to not only achieve their economic goals but also contribute positively to the social and environmental fabric of the communities they serve.
As a consultant, I bring a holistic perspective to my work, drawing on my extensive experience to offer insights that are both strategic and pragmatic. My approach is rooted in a firm belief that technology and data, when used thoughtfully, can be powerful tools for societal transformation. I am constantly exploring innovative ways to enhance connectivity and access to information, with the ultimate goal of creating more inclusive and sustainable communities across Africa.
I am eager to connect with like-minded professionals and organizations who are passionate about making a difference. Let's collaborate to harness the power of technology and finance for the greater good.
