What Works Academy
Eastern Cape, South AfricaWhat Works Academy is the learning and development arm of another sankalpa funded project — Profit with Purpose.
What Works Academy has a focus on creating an understanding of how to upskill people in an African context; making projects scalable by coming up with protocols and methods that can be rolled out elsewhere.
Well aware of how much good money gets wasted in African projects — and finding that our work with the Profit with Purpose model, with its emphasis on working at a ‘micro-level’ actually produced results — we began to pull together the essential criteria for success for projects working in Africa. This led to the concept of an academy being developed to support project managers.
