Nascent Solutions (aka Nascent) is a Virginia based, woman-led humanitarian and development organization dedicated to building the capacity of less privileged people in rural Africa to create a self-reliant and poverty-free Africa. Nascent currently has a presence and operations in Cameroon, Liberia, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Zambia and recently registered in Cote d’ Ivoire. In the past 15 years, Nascent has raised and managed over $100 million in cash and kind resources and implemented programs that have benefited over 10 million people in its target countries.
Nascent Solutions believes that a holistic and integrated approach enhances opportunities to explore and test multiple perspectives, particularly those that leverage local knowledge and experience.
Leadership and Managerial Skills: Nascent has built a jealously maintained reputation for integrity as well as a strong belief in its mission and the values that guide its thinking. This conviction has strengthened the organization’s ability to persuade others to join in its efforts to bring lasting relief to marginalized communities in rural Africa. Nascent views effective communication, not only as a process of informing others, but the ability to seek out crucial information and build consensus. The organization’s leadership believes that trust and respect engender a positive team spirit and fosters the emergence of real partners. Its flexibility and adaptability enable it to incorporate multiple perspectives into its programming.
Partnership and Stakeholder Management: The complex natures of development challenges, require multi-dimensional strategies and approaches. Nascent recognizes that for interventions introduced through programs such as the McGovern-Dole Program to have lasting impacts, the target communities and governments need strong accountability systems in place. Through its participatory design process, Nascent identifies the technical and social skills of staff and aligns them with the needs for target communities, ensuring effective communication and flow of information that optimizes personnel output. Proper budgeting ensures effective and efficient handling of the organization’s financial resources, commodities and the use and maintenance of equipment and supplies.
