McDonald Chikusi is a results-driven business development professional with over six years of experience empowering SMEs and social enterprises across Malawi and Africa. My work has been directly to strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems, create sustainable livelihoods, and drive youth employment. I guide entrepreneurs from idea generation through prototyping, market testing, and full business launch with a strong focus on impact-driven ventures.
I have experience in managing donor-funded programs, coordinating multi-country teams across Malawi and Africa, and ensuring rigorous monitoring and reporting against work plans and donor conditions. My skills in proposal development, budget tracking, and partnership engagement have consistently delivered program success. Passionate about mentorship and coaching, I equip SME owners with practical tools to build resilient, scalable businesses across Africa.
