  • (1888PressRelease) August 23, 2026 - Africulture GBC Ltd has officially announced the launch of the Digital Capability and Institutional Strengthening Programme (DCISP), a transformative initiative designed to equip Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), non-profit organisations, faith-based institutions, and emerging enterprises with the systems, digital capabilities, and institutional structures required to thrive in an increasingly competitive and technology-driven economy. The programme comes at a critical time when many Nigerian organisations struggle with operational inefficiencies, weak institutional systems, poor digital adoption, and limited capacity to scale sustainably.

    Addressing a Critical Gap
    While numerous interventions focus on providing finance, grants, and entrepreneurship training, very few address the internal systems and institutional weaknesses that prevent organisations from achieving long-term success. The DCISP seeks to bridge this gap by helping organisations strengthen their:
    • Leadership and Governance
    • Digital Transformation Capabilities
    • Organisational Systems and Processes
    • Human Capital Development
    • Strategic Planning and Execution
    • Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Systems
    • Business Sustainability and Institutional Resilience

    Why DCISP Matters
    According to industry reports, many Nigerian SMEs fail within their first five years due to weak systems, poor governance, and limited capacity to adapt to changing market realities. The Digital Capability and Institutional Strengthening Programme has been developed to empower organisations to:
    • Improve productivity and operational effectiveness.
    • Build resilient and scalable institutions.
    • Leverage technology for growth and innovation.
    • Enhance competitiveness locally and globally.
    • Strengthen governance and accountability.
    • Increase their ability to attract investors, donors, and strategic partners.

    • Economic Growth

    • Employment Creation

    • Providing women-led enterprises and organisations with tools and capabilities to thrive.

    • Digital Inclusion
    • Accelerating digital adoption and improving access to technology.
    • Institutional Effectiveness
    • Strengthening governance, systems, and operational excellence.
