SCORE in Brief

SCORE is acronym for:

Specific skills intervention for strategic development

Corporate research promotion and collective responsibility

Observational traits and culture of competence

Research, analysis and synthesis of baseline development for appropriate mentoring

Entrepreneurial skills enhancement and transfer of technology through collective participation

SCORE is an initiative designed to foster sustainable development in Nigeria through advocacy that encourages business enabling environment reforms through enhanced policies for MSMEs and Private sector business activities in general. Score is optimistic that improved MSMEs and private sector business activities will contribute significantly to public sector development as well. 

SCORE is people centered, empowerment oriented and development driven. We dedicate large chunk of our resources to monitor and groom the younger generations, as well as equip them with life support and life saving skills. In addition to this we monitor and  scrutinize, analyze and evaluate public and private sector bodies, score their operations and determine their impact on the society. 

Our focus is more on identifying ways that private sector operations can be enhanced. Our advocacy efforts are centered more on business enabling environment, corporate governance, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and social responsibility issues.

We discourage activities that have potential to aggravate environmental degradation and community hazards, including health related challenges. We consider these as serious setback to the development of the society, since they have the capacity to Mar efforts and impinge negatively on the good intentions of now and in the future.

SCORE, when viewed broadly is a systematic and strategic development tool, a collective work, and a collective responsibility instrument, and agenda setting package, designed deliberately to among other objectives help to articulate and disseminate culturally appropriate materials necessary for development.

 

We are delighted by activities that support and promote baseline initiatives in development effort. In view of this, we seek to identify beyond the usual output of projects and programmes, the outcome and impact to the society.

The three bottom lines: People, Planet and Profit are our guide. The 3Ps guide our conduct in the field. Our filed activities revolve around: surveys, personal or face-to-face interviews, investigation, research and events and systems observations. Put succinctly, we score activities that promote the PEOPLE above the PLANET and PROFIT above the Planet above PROFIT.

We elicit your support through advertorials, retainership, event coverage, publicity and any other way you may wish to enable us carry out our self-imposed mandates as has been partly expressed above. 

Let us join hands and show commitment at entrenching into the Nigerian system infrastructures, ideas, and policies, as well as raise other structures necessary for providing an enhanced MSME echo-system that recognises the concept of the PEOPLE first, PLANET second, and thereafter PROFIT.

We seek the collaboration of Policy Makers, NGOs, and funders and of course men of goodwill, locally and internationally. We note that wider reach and impact driven activities count highly in our agenda... 

Thank you for reading and identifying with us!
