Jackline Njeri Nganga
@jacklinenjeringanga
Impact-driven SME development and program manager specializing in sustainable, inclusive innovation.
What I'm looking for
I am an impact consultant and MBA candidate focused on social entrepreneurship, sustainability, and inclusive innovation across East and West Africa. With over six years designing, implementing, and scaling development programs, I specialize in SME capacity building, technical assistance, and fund management.
At the Good Food Innovation Fund I delivered TA to over 20 SMEs across multiple African countries, strengthening investment readiness, business performance, and impact monitoring through due diligence and portfolio tracking.
Previously at Mr. Green Africa I led development and scale-up of community-based recycling models that empowered informal waste collectors and increased sustainable plastic recovery. I bring cross-functional skills in innovation program design, stakeholder engagement, impact reporting, and partnership development.
I seek impact-focused roles in donor-funded programs, social enterprises, or consulting firms where I can design and manage scalable, inclusive solutions that align community needs with funder goals.
