From Growth to Impact: Our ODSS Journey at North Coast Innovators (NCI)

At North Coast Innovators, we’ve always been passionate about driving change in coastal communities—especially in SRHR, climate action, youth empowerment, and innovation.

But like many growing organizations, we faced a challenge:
👉 Strong ideas and community presence, but limited internal systems to scale our impact.

That’s where the ODSS (Organizational Development & Systems Strengthening) program by Amref Health Africa in Kenya came in—and it changed everything.

Through ODSS, we were able to:
✅ Strengthen our governance and leadership structures
✅ Improve our planning and accountability systems
✅ Develop a clear Capacity Improvement Plan (CIP) to guide our growth
✅ Become more structured, strategic, and partnership-ready

One of our biggest wins has been rethinking how we design programs. Today, we are building integrated solutions that connect:
🌱 Climate resilience
💜 SRHR (Sexual & Reproductive Health & Rights)
👩🏾 Women’s economic empowerment
👥 Youth leadership

This means more holistic, real impact for the communities we serve.

🚀 We’re now stepping into a new phase—engaging partners, exploring climate finance opportunities, and scaling solutions across the coast.

What excites us most?
We’re no longer just a passionate youth initiative—we’re becoming a structured, credible organization ready to drive lasting change.

🙏 Thank you to Amref Health Africa in Kenya and the Youth Power Hub for walking this journey with us.

Week 3 Recap | Live at Westerwelle Startup Haus Mombasa. MangroveCoin joined the WAVEMAKERS session to explore The New Fundraising Landscape in the Blue Economy as part of the Strengthening Climate Finance in the Blue Economy program.

With 40+ participants and 10+ CSOs represented, the discussion highlighted a clear shift: climate finance is moving beyond traditional grants toward verifiable impact, partnerships, and sustainable funding models.

MangroveCoin’s role is to support this shift by helping community climate work become visible, verifiable, and investable.

Thank you to Westerwelle Startup Haus Mombasa and the German Federal Foreign Office for supporting this important dialogue.
