Venture: Ujamaa Africa
Ujamaa Africa is an international NGO working to end gender based violence.
Expert: Walker Dieckmann
Sr. Director of Operations, Next Gen Fulfillment, Instacart
Ujamaa Africa partnered with Rippleworks to define their field operations management system to support high-quality program implementation and scale.
Ujamaa Africa’s vision is a world free from gender-based violence (GBV). They have implemented the first dual gender GBV prevention program in the world. Ujamaa seeks to empower girls to defend themselves against GBV, while supporting boys in adopting positive gender norms and intervening to stop GBV in their communities.
One of Ujamaa’s top priorities going into the project was ensuring high-quality program implementation as their field teams and operations scale to remote, rural locations
Ujamaa partnered with Walker Dieckmann, a startup operations leader skilled in building teams and companies. Together, they:
• Implemented new field management processes.
• Developed a tracker to pilot the new processes and assess change and project management at scale.
