NGI: Investing in Locally Led Systems Change
NICE Global Impact (NGI) is a values centered social enterprise building self sustaining community ecosystems where education, enterprise, and finance reinforce one another. For over a decade in East Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia, we have empowered local communities to design and scale their own solutions, moving beyond aid cycles by investing in human potential.
A Decade of Impact
The Challenge
From fragmented programs to self sustaining systems
Traditional aid models create dependency, causing momentum to stall when projects end. NGI addresses this by moving from fragmented programs to integrated, self sustaining systems, aligning with global priorities on localization and systems change.
Our Approach
Assess
Build
Sustain
We start by diagnosing the ecosystem and co-creating a clear Theory of Change.
We build capacity by training individuals and strengthening organizations’ governance, operations, and leadership.
We embed sustainability by co-designing finance models, diversifying income, and ensuring local leaders can continue the work.
Our 2+4 Framework for Action
Developing Actions and Anticipatory Actions
Our core work is delivered through Four Strategic Pillars, which simultaneously execute Two Types of Action: “Developing Actions” for present stability and “Anticipatory Actions” for future resilience.
