Valuations of Projects, Financial Management and Projections

Many startups have exciting business ideas and projects which promise great outcomes to managers, founders or investors. These projects can often be difficult to assess and may fail due to lack of proper financial management and planning.  It is therefore crucial for DIHs and other ecosystems support actors to be acquainted with the basics of project evaluations and financial  management in order to  more effectively support the startups in their ecosystems to grow into viable businesses. However, our research among DIHs leaders found that many of them lack specific knowledge and skills around project evaluation and financial management.

To address this gap,  AfriconEU, the first Trans-continental Networking Academy for African and European Digital Innovation Hubs in partnership with African Technology Business Network (ATBN) will host a capacity building webinar on “Valuations of Projects, Financial Management and Projections” to provide participants with a basic understanding of best practices for successful project evaluation and financial management.

The webinar contents will include the key uses of business metrics and KPIs as management tools along with examples of good metrics and best practices. Following these elements, there will be a discussion of how to make justifiable projections based on current metrics, and how to perform valuations of startups.

Topics to be discussed:

    • Methods of valuation of projects and their uses for businesses/startups
      • discounted cash flow, scorecards, and benchmarking
    • Elements, objectives or functions of financial management for projects
    • Financial reporting
      • income and cash flow, market size, growth rates and more.
